[Verse 1] (George)
G D Well, I've come here to tell you folks, I'm ragged, but I'm right D G I'm a tramp and a gambler, I stay out late at night C G E7 Porterhouse steak three times a day for my board A D That's more than any rambler in this old town can afford
[Chorus]
G D Well, I own a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep D G A little baby girl to pull around at his feet C G E7 I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life A7 D7 G And I tell ya folks I'm ragged, but I'm right

[Verse 2] (Johnny)
G D Well, then I got married, I knew I'd settle down D G build a little love nest right here in my hometown C G E7 Well, I've got a family, one that I'm proud of A7 D7 I know that we'll be happy, 'cause they're the ones I love
[Chorus] (George first 2 lines, then Johnny)
G D Well, I own a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep D G A little baby boy to play around at his feet C C7 G E7 I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, and I lead a dirty life A7 D7 G I tell you, George, I'm ragged, but I'm right
