Well, I've come here to tell you folks, I'm ragged, but I'm right
D G
I'm a tramp and a gambler, I stay out late at night
C G E7
Porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
A D
That's more than any rambler in this old town can afford
[Chorus]
G D
Well, I own a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
D G
A little baby girl to pull around at his feet
C G E7
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life
A7 D7 G
And I tell ya folks I'm ragged, but I'm right

Well, then I got married, I knew I'd settle down
D G

I know that we'll be happy, 'cause they're the ones I love
