Camptown Races

Stephen Foster

Camptown ladies sing this song, doo dah
Doo dah
The camptown racetrack five miles long
Oh doo dah day i came down here with my
Hat caved in, doo dah, doo dah
I go back home with a pocket full of tin
Oh doo dah day

Gonna ride all night gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

A long tail filly with a
Big black horse, doo dah, doo dah
Fly the track and the both cut across
Oh doo dah day a blind horse stickin' in a
Big mud hole, doo dah, doo dah
Can't touch bottom with a ten-foot pole, oh
Doo dah day gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

Old muley cow comin' on to
The track, doo dah, doo dah
The bobtail fling her over his back
Oh doo dah day
Fly along like a railroad car, doo dah
Doo dah
Run the race with a shootin' star, oh
Doo dah day

Gonna ride all night gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

Gonna ride all night gonna ride all day
Lost my money on a bobtail nag
Ah doo dah day

See them flyin' on a ten-mile heat, doo dah
Doo dah round the racetrack, then repeat
Oh doo dah day
I win my money on a bobtail nag, doo dah
Doo dah
I keep my money in an old tow bag, oh
Doo dah day

Gonna ride all night gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay not me, baby
Bet on the bay
