about

Here's a great old song from the early 20th Century - my version via Mr. Riley Puckett. I'm a rambler a gambler and I'm drunk every night - I tell you boys I'm Ragged but Right!

Released on Spotify etc on 22nd March 2024.

lyrics

I've come here to tell you - I'm ragged but right
I'm a thief and a gambler I stay out every night
I get a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this town can afford
A big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A big ol' guitar and an amp at my feet
I'm a rambler a gambler and I'm drunk every night
I tell you boys I'm ragged but right

I go everywhere - I don't pay no fare
I can get a ride to just 'bout anywhere
If I win or lose - I don't get no blues
lord it's rock'n'roll ramblin' for me

I've come here to tell you - I'm ragged but right
I'm a thief and a gambler I stay out every night
I get a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this town can afford
A big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A big ol' guitar and an amp at my feet
I'm a rambler a gambler and I'm drunk every night
I tell you boys I'm ragged but right
