I'm Ragged but I'm Right - Song written by Johnny Cash
Well I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night
But a porterhouse steak steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford
Well I got big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin' rounds at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown
Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of
I know that I'll be happy cause they're the ones I love
Well I got big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin' rounds daddy's feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
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

the song originally is an old traditional blues/jazz/ragtime song george jones just re-wrote a few verses and changed some of the music a tiny bit to make it more of a country song. but he didn't write the whole thing.

If riley puckett died in 1946, and george jones released his first album in 1957, how was Riley able to cover this song that hadn't been written yet. Any statment that starts "according to Wikipedia" is probably going to be incorrect.

this song was written by the living legend, George Jones and was a hit for George back in the late 50's or early 60's. George and Johnny where life long friends and toured together during the early years

@MrChiroux Yeah, this is a cover of the Riley Puckett tune that was probably recorded before Cash was even born!
