Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah
Camptown racetrack five miles long, oh, da-doo-dah-day
I come down there with my hat caved in, doo-dah, doo-dah
I go back home with a pocket full of tin, oh da-doo-dah-day
Going to run all night, going to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the gray
♪
The long-tail filly and the big black horse, doo-dah, doo-dah
They fly the track and they both cut across, oh, da-doo-dah-day
The blind horse sticking in a big mud hole, doo-dah, doo-dah
Can't touch the bottom with a ten-foot pole, oh, da-doo-dah-day
Going to run all night (all night), going to run all day (all day)
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the gray
Yes sir
See them flying on a ten-mile heat, doo-dah, doo-dah
Round the racetrack, then repeat, oh, da-doo-dah-day
I win my money on the bobtail nag, doo-dah (doo-dah), doo-dah (doo-dah)
I keep my money in an old tow bag, oh, da-doo-dah-day
Going to run all night, going to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the gray
Somebody bet on the gray
Somebody bet on the gray
Yee-haw!
