A little baby boy playin' around at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown
I know that we'll be happy, 'cause they're the ones I love
Well, I've got a electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life
Well, I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

A little baby boy playin' around daddy's feet
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford
But I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

Well, then I got married, I knew I'd settle down

I've got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
But a Porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lead a dirty life
Now, I've got a family, one that I'm proud of
