Ragged but Right Songtext

Ragged but Right Songtext
(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.
I pour a high 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′s 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.
--- Instrumental ---
When I got married
I knew I'd settled down
I built a little lovenest
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's 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...
