The Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo-da, Doo-da
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long
Oh! doo-da day!

I come down there with my hat caved in
Doo-da, Doo-da
I go 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

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

The blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole
Doo-da, Doo-da
Can’t touch bottom with a ten foot pole
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

Old muley cow come on to the track
Doo-da, Doo-da
The bob-tail fling her over his back
Oh! de doo-da day!

Then fly along like a rail-road car
Doo-da, Doo-da
Runnin’ a race with a shootin’ star
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

Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
Doo-da! doo-da!
Doo-da! doo-da!
Oh! de doo-da day!
