Ragged But Right

Circle Left
Well, I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged, but right
Allemande the Corner girl, DoSaDo tonight
And then the Men Star Left and travel one time around
Turn your Partner Right, Allemande Left and Weave the Ring
Got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
Swing your own and Promenade when you meet
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lived a dirty life
Well, I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

Sides face, Grand Square
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
Well, a porterhouse steak 3 times a day for my board
Left Allemande your Corner lady, Weave the Ring
[Remainder same as opener]

4 Boys Promenade, gonna walk, walk, walk around
Get back and Swing your lady, Swing the girl go 'round and 'round
Join hands and Circle to the Left go 'round the way
Allemande Left your Corner lady, Weave the Ring
[Remainder same as opener]

Heads, you Promenade and travel halfway 'round the ring
Walk in and Square Thru, 4 hands and then
4 hands around you go and then a Right & Left Thru there
Veer Left and Ferris Wheel around you do
Come on, Square Thru 3/4 round and you Swing
Swing your Corner and Promenade go 'round the ring
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I've lived a dirty life
Well, I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
