| lyric | 1. De Camptown ladies sing this song, doodah, doodah!
De Camptown race track five mile long, oh, doodahday!
I come down dere wid my hat caved in, doodah, doodah!
I go back home wid apocket full of tin, oh, doodahday!
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I’ll bet my money on de bobtail nag,
somebody bet on de bay.
2. De long failed filly and de big black horse, doodah, doodah!
De fly de track and dey both cut across, oh, doodahday!
De blind horse stickin’ in a big mud hole, doodah, doodah!
He can’t touch bottom wid a ten foot pole, oh, doodahday!
3. Old muley cow come on de track, doodah, doodah!
De bobtail fling her o’er his back, oh, doodahday!
Den fly along like a railroad car, doodah, doodah!
Runnin’ a race wid a shootin’ star, oh, doodahday!
4. See dem flyin’ on a tenmile heat, doodah, doodah!
’Round de race track den repeat, oh, doodahday!
I win my money on de bobtail nag. doodah, doodah!
I keep my money in an old tow-bag, oh, doodahday! |
