[Verse 1]
A                                E
Well folks I'm here to tell you I'm ragged but I'm right

                        A                A7
A tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night

But a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board

      B7                            E
That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford
[Chorus]
A                            E
Big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep

                                     A           A7
I've got pretty little girls layin' 'round at my feet

I'm a rambler and a gambler I've lead a dirty life

Folks, I tell you I'm ragged but I'm right

A                            E
Hopped on a freight train in North Caroline

                         A              A7
Rode down to Atlanta and bought me some moonshine

D           D7             A           F#7
Went into a card game with thirty-nine cents

B7                          E
Came out with enough for a-nother month's rent
[Chorus]
A                            E
Big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep

                                     A           A7
I've got pretty little girls layin' 'round at my feet

You may think I'm bragging but don't get me wrong

                             A                    A7
I can't run for office while I'm singing this ol' song

      D           D7              A           F#7
I'm a thief and a gambler and I'm drunk every night

B7                  E              A
I tell you boys I'm ragged but I'm right
[Outro]
          D         D7          A         F#7
I'm a rambler and a gambler I leave every night

Folks, I tell you I'm ragged but I'm right
