Chorus: C G I've come here to tell you that I'm ragged but I'm right C Thief and a gambler, I get drunk every night F C A I eat a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board D G More than any loafer in this town can afford C G Big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep C Little baby girl dancin' round at my feet F C A I am a ramblin' gambler, I get drunk every night D G C Boys, you know I'm ragged but I'm right
Verse: C I go everywhere, I don't pay no fare D G C I could ride a freight train anywhere F If I win or lose, I don't get no blues C G C It's ramblin' and rollin' for me C G Well I never got married, I never settled down C Never spent more than one night in any one town F C A I've got no family and no place to call home D G But I'll stay happy as long as I roam Chorus: C G I've come here to tell you that I'm ragged but I'm right C Thief and a gambler, I get drunk every night F C A I eat a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board D G More than any loafer in this town can afford C G Big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep C Little baby girl dancin' round at my feet F C A I am a ramblin' gambler, I get drunk every night D G C Boys, you know I'm ragged but I'm right
