I come here to tell you, people, I'm ragged but right
I'm a thief and a gambler, I get drunk every night
Get a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this town can afford
Big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A-little baby girls play around at my feet
I'm a rambling gambler and I get drunk every night,
I'll tell you boys I'm ragged but right
I go everywhere, I don't pay no fare
I can ride a freight train just anywhere
If I win or lose, I don't get no blues
Lord, a gambler's roaming for me
Well, I come here to tell you, people, I'm ragged but right
A thief and a gambler, I get drunk every night
Get a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this town can afford
A big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
Little baby girl to play around at my feet
I'm a rambling gambler and I'm drunk every night,
I tell you, boys, I'm ragged but right
