stephen foster – camptown races lyrics
the campptown 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
longer version
the camptown ladies sing this song
doo-dah! doo-dah!
the camptown racetrack’s five miles long
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 come down there with my hat caved in
doo-dah! doo-dah!
i go back home with a pocket full of tin
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
the long tail filly and the big black hoss
doo-dah! doo-dah!
they fly the track and they both cut across
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
the blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole
doo-dah! doo-dah!
can’t touch bottom with a ten foot pole
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
old muley cow come on to the track
doo-dah! doo-dah!
the bob-tail fling her over his back
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
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
