Camptown Races

1. The Camptown ladies sing this song: Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

Camptown racetrack’s five miles long. Oh! Doo-dah day!


I came down there with my hat caved in. Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

I went back home with a pocket full of tin. Oh! Doo-dah day!

Chorus:

Going to run all night!


Going to run all day!


I’ll bet my money on the bobtail nag –

Somebody bet on the bay.

2. The long-tail filly and the big black horse Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

They fly the track and they both cut across Oh! Doo-dah day!

The blind horse wallowed in a big mud hole …


Can’t touch bottom with a ten foot pole. …

3. Old muley cow came onto the track …

The bobtail flung her over his back …

They flew along like a railroad car …

Running a race with a shooting star …

4. See them flying on a ten-mile heat …

‘Round the racetrack, then repeat …


I won my money on the bobtail nag …


I keep my money in an old tow bag …
