Text: De Camptown ladies sing this song, Doo-da, Doo-da De Camptown racetrack's two miles long Oh, de doo-da day I went down South with my hat caved in, Doo-da, doo-da I came back North with a pocket full of tin Oh, de doo-da day Chorus Gwin to run all night Gwin to run all day I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag Somebody bet on the gray De long tail filly and de big black hoss, Doo dah! doo dah! Dey fly de track and de both cut across Oh, de doo-da day. De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole, Doo dah! doo dah! Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole Oh, de doo-da day. Chorus Old mulley cow come onto de track, Doo dah! doo dah! De bobtail fling her ober his back, Oh, de doo-da day. Den fly along like a railroad car, Doo dah! doo dah! Runnin' a race wid a shootin' star Oh, de doo-da day. Chorus See dem flyin' on a ten mile heat, Doo dah! doo dah! Round de race track den repeat, Oh, de doo-da day. I win my money on de bobtail nag, Doo dah! doo dah! I keep my money in an old towbag, Oh, de doo-da day.
