De camptown ladies sing this song,
Doo-da, doo-da
De camptown racetrack's five miles long
Oh, de doo-da day
I went down south with my hat caved in,
Doo-da, doo-da
I came back north with a pocket full of tin
Oh, de doo-da day
Chorus
==================================
Gwin to run all night
Gwin to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
==================================
De long tail filly and de big black hoss,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Dey fly de track and de both cut across
Oh, de doo-da day.
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole
Oh, de doo-da day.
Chorus
Old mulley cow come onto de track,
Doo dah! doo dah!
De bobtail fling her ober his back,
Oh, de doo-da day.
Den fly along like a railroad car,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Runnin' a race wid a shootin' star
Oh, de doo-da day.
Chorus
See dem flyin' on a ten mile heat,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Round de race track den repeat,
Oh, de doo-da day.
I win my money on de bobtail nag,
Doo dah! doo dah!
I keep my money in an old towbag,
Oh, de doo-da day.
