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 …
