Camptown ladies
sing this song,
Doo-da, doo-da, doo-da day
Camptown racetrack's
five miles long
De doo-da, de doo-da day

I come down there
with my hat caved in
Doo-da, doo-da, doo-da day
I go back home
with a pocket full of tin
Doo-da, doo-da day

The long tail filly
and the big black hoss
Doo-da, doo-da, doo-da day
They fly the track
and they both cut across
Doo-da, 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

The blind hoss sticken
in a big mud hole
Doo-da, doo-da, doo-da day
It can't touch bottom
with a ten foot pole
Doo-da, doo-da day
Old muley cow
come on to the track
Doo-da, doo-da, doo-da day
The bob-tail fling
her over his back
Doo-da, 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
De doo-da, doo-da,
doo-da day
Runnin' a race
with a shootin' star
De doo-da, doo-da....

See them flyin'
on a ten mile heat
Doo-dah, doo-dah...
Round the race track,
then repeat
Doo-da, doo-da day

I win my money
on the bob-tail nag
Doo-dah, doo-dah...
I keep my money
in an old tow-bag
Doo-da, 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
