Ragged But Right

Well, I've come here to tell you boys

I'm ragged but I'm right

I'm a tramp and a rounder

I stay out late at night.

I pour a high steak

Three times a day for my board

That's more than any loafer

In this old town can afford.

A big electric fan

Keep me cool while I sleep

A little baby boy

Play's around daddy's feet.

I'm a rounder, I'm a gambler

Lord, I lead every fight

I tell you boys

I'm ragged but I'm right.

When I got married

I knew I'd settled down

I built a little love nest

Right near in my hometown.

Now, I've got a family

One that I'm proud of

I know that they'll be happy

'Cause I'm the one they love.

A big electric fan

Keep me cool while I sleep

A little baby boy

Play's around daddy's feet.

I'm a rounder, I'm a gambler

Lord, I lead every fight

I tell you boys

I'm ragged but I'm right
