lyrics

The Camptown ladies sing this song -- Doo-da, Doo-da
The Camptown racetrack 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, doo-da day

Goin' to run all night, goin' to run all day
And I’ll bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay

The long-tailed filly and the big black horse -- Doo-da, doo-da
They fly the track and they both cut across -- Oh, doo-da day
The blind horse stricken in a big mud hole -- Doo-da, doo-da
Can’t touch bottom with a ten foot pole -- Oh, doo-da day

Goin' to run all night, goin' to run all day
And I’ll bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay

Old muley cow come onto the track -- Doo-da, doo-da
The bob-tail fling her over his back -- Oh, doo-da day
Then fly along like a rail-road car -- Doo-da, doo-da
Runnin’ a race with a shootin’ star -- Oh, doo-da day

Goin' to run all night, goin' to run all day
And I’ll bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay

See them flyin’ on a ten mile heat -- Doo-da, doo-da
Round the race track, then repeat -- Oh, doo-da day
I win my money on the bob-tail nag -- Doo-da, doo-da
I keep my money in an old tow-bag -- Oh, doo-da day

Goin' to run all night, goin' to run all day
And I’ll bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay
