I come here to tell you I'm ragged but right
Been a rounder and a gambler, I have stayed out late at night
A porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this town can afford
It's dark and it's raining I'm a long way from home
People that don't like me can leave me alone
My pony won't travel on this dark road at night
I tell you boys I'm ragged but right
Well I go everywhere, I don't pay no fare
I can ride a freight train most anywhere
If I win or lose, I don't get the blues
It's rambling and gambling for me
I come here to tell you I'm ragged but right
Been a rounder and a gambler, I have stayed out late at night
A porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this town can afford
It's dark and it's raining I'm a long ways from home
People that don't like me can leave me alone
My pony won't travel this dark road at night
I tell you boys I'm ragged but right
I tell you folks I'm ragged but right
