Camptown Races

(album: Swing Me An Old Song - 1959)

Camptown ladies sing dis song doo-dah, doo-dah
Camptown race-track five miles long oh, doo-dah day
I came 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 bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on de bay

De long tail filly and de big black hoss doo-dah, doo-dah
Fly de track and dey both cut across oh, doo-dah-day
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole doo-dah, doo-dah
Can't touch bottom wid a ten foot pole oh, doo-dah-day

Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on de bay

Old muley cow come on to de track doo-dah, doo-dah
De bob-tail fling her ober his back oh, doo-dah-day
Fly along like a rail-road car doo-dah, doo-dah
Running a race wid a shooting star oh, doo-dah-day

Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on de bay

See dem flying on a ten mile heat doo-dah, doo-dah
Round de race track, den repeat oh, doo-dah-day
I win my money on de bob-tail nag doo-dah, doo-dah
I keep my money in an old tow-bag oh, doo-dah-day

Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on de bay
