Well, I've come here to tell you folks, I'm ragged but I'm right 
                                   D 
I'm a tramp and a gambler, I stay out late at night 
       G                              D          B7 
But a Porterhouse steak three times a day for my board 
           E                            A7 
That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford 


D                                         A7 
Well, I've got a electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep 
                             D  
A little baby boy playin' around at my feet 
        G            G7            D            B7 
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life 
            E7                  A7            D 
Well, I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right 


Repeat progression over string and guitar solos. 

 D                           A7 
Well, then I got married, I knew I'd settle down 
                                     D 
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown 
  G                      D                 B7 
Now, I've got a family, one that I'm proud of 
E7                                  A7 
I know that we'll be happy, 'cause they're the ones I love 
D                                      A7 
I've got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep 
                                  D 
A little baby boy playin' around daddy's feet 
       G              G7           B7           E7 
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life 
       A7             D           B7 E 
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right 
         D            A7             D 
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right 

D A7 D  

         G           G7            B7          E 
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life 
                          A7             D 
But I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
