I'm Ragged But I'm Right

(George Jones)



Well, I've come here to tell you boys, I'm ragged but I'm right

I'm a tramp and a rounder, I stay out late at night.

A Porterhouse house steak three times a day for my board

That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford.



A big electric fan keep me cool while I sleep

A little baby boy play around daddy's feet

I'm a rounder, I'm a gambler Lord, I lead every fight

I tell you boys, I'm ragged but I'm right.

When I got married I knew I'd settled down

I built a little love nest right near in my hometown

Now, I've got a family, one that I'm proud of

I know that they'll be happy 'cause I'm the one they love.



A big electric fan keep me cool while I sleep

A little baby boy play around daddy's feet

I'm a rounder, I'm a gambler Lord, I lead every fight

I tell you boys, I'm ragged but I'm right...
