Camptown ladies
Sing this song,
Doo-da, Doo-da
The Camptown racetrack's
Five miles long
Oh, de doo-da day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money
on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
Oh, the long tailed filly
And the big black horse,
Doo-da, doo-da
Come to a mud hole
And they all cut across,
Oh, de doo-da day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money
on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
I went down there with
My hat caved in,
Doo-da, doo-da
I came back home
With a pocket full of tin
Oh, de doo-da day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money
on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
Then fly along like
A rail-road car
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Runnin’ a race with
A shootin’ star
Oh! de doo-dah day!
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money
on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
See them flyin’ on a
Ten mile heat
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
Round the race track,
Then repeat
Oh! doo-dah day!
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money
on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
I win my money
On the bob-tail nag
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I keep my money in
an old tow-bag
Oh! de doo-dah day!
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on
A bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on
A bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
