De Camptown Races

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Camptown ladies sing this song—Doo-dah, doo-dah Camp-town race-track five miles long—Oh, doo-dah day Come down there with the hat caved in—Doo-dah, doo-dah Go back home with a pocket full of tin—Oh, doo-dah day [Chorus] Gwine to run all night Gwine to run all day I'll bet my money on a bob-tail nag Somebody bet on the bay [Verse 2] Long tail filly and a big black horse—Doo-dah, doo-dah Fly the track and they both cut across—Oh, doo-dah-day [Chorus] Gwine to run all night Gwine to run all day I'll bet my money on a bob-tail nag Somebody bet on the bay [Verse 3] The blind horse sticking in a big mud hole—Doo-da, doo-dah He can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole—Oh, doo-dah-day They fly along like a rail-road car—Doo-dah, doo-dah Like running a race with a shootin' star—Oh, doo-dah-day [Chorus] Gwine to run all night (Gwine to run all night) Gwine to run all day (Gwine to run all day) 'Causе I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag Somеbody bet on the bay [Verse 4] Then see them flying on a ten mile heat—Doo-dah, doo-dah Round the race track, then repeat—Oh, doo-dah-day I win my money on the bob-tail nag—Doo-dah, doo-dah I keep my money in an old tow-bag—Oh, doo-dah-day [Chorus] Gwine to run all night (Gwine to run all night) Gwine to run all day (Gwine to run all day) I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag Somebody bet on the bay Ohh doo-dah-day
