Ragged But Right
Folks, I'm here to tell you that I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a thief and a gambler, and I stay up late at night
Gonna have a steak three times a day for my board
More than any loafer in this big town can afford

A big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy plays around daddy's feet
I'm a ramblin' gambler and I leave every night
People, I tell you I'm ragged but I'm right
