The Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah
The Camptown race-track 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 pocketful of tin, oh, doo-dah day
Gone to run all night, gone to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
The long-tailed filly and a big black hoss, doo-dah, doo-dah
They fly the track and they both cut across, oh, doo-dah day
The blind hoss stricken in a big mud-hole, doo-dah, doo-dah
He can't touch bottom with a ten-foot pole, oh, doo-dah day
Gone to run all night, gone to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Old Julie Cowl come onto the track, doo-dah, doo-dah
The bob-tail fling her over his back, oh, doo-dah day
Then fly along like a railroad car, doo-dah, doo-dah
A-runnin' a race with a shootin' star, oh, doo-dah day
Gone to run all night, gone to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
See them flyin' on a ten-mile beat, doo-dah, doo-dah
Around 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
Gone to run all night, gone to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
