Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray.
Strophen:
The Camptown ladies sing this song: Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long: Oh! doo-dah day!
I come down there with my hat caved in: Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I go back home with a pocket full of tin: Oh! Doo-dah day!
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 sticken in a big mud hole: Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Can´t touch bottom with a ten foot pole: Oh!Doo-dah day!
Old muley cow come on to the track: Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
The bob-tail fling her over his back: Oh! Doo-dah day!
They fly along like a rail-road car: Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Running a race with a shooting star: Oh! de doo-dah day!
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!
