Well I've come here to tell you folks

I'm ragged but I'm right

I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night
F G7 D
A porterhouse steak steak three times a day for my board
G7
That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford
C G7
Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
C
A little baby boy playin' round Daddy's feet
F C
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I lead every life

Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down
C
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown

Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of

I know that I'll be happy cause they're the ones I love
Well a big electric fan.......(Chorus)

Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
