Camptown Races

De Camptown ladies sing dis song
Doo dah! doo dah!
De Camptown race track five miles long
Oh! doo dah day!
I come down dah wid my hat caved in
Doo dah! doo dah!
I go back home wid a pocket full of tin
Oh! doo dah day!

Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bobtail nag
Somebody bet on de bay.

De long tail filly and de big black hoss
Dey fly de track and dey both cut across
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole
Can't touch bottom wid a ten foot pole

Old muley cow come on to de track
De bob tail fling her ober his back
Den fly along like a railroad car
Runnin a race wid a shootin' star

See dem flyin on a ten mile heat
Round de race track, den repeat
I win my money on de bob tail nag
I keep my money in an old tow bag
