Ragged, but Right

Well, I've a-come here to tell you folks, I'm ragged but I'm right

I'm a tranp and a rounder, I stay out late at night

A porterhouse steak three times a day for my board

That's more than any loafer in this mid-town can afford.

Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep

A little baby boy to play 'round daddy's feet

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler and I lead every life

'Cause I tell you folks, I'm ragged but I'm right.

Now, when I got married, I knew I'd settle down

And built a little love nest right here in my hometown

So 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 to keep me cool while I sleep

A little baby boy to play 'round daddy's feet

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler and I lead every life

'Cause I tell you folks, I'm ragged but I'm right...
