Stephen Foster - De Camptown Races lyrics

[Verse 1] De Camptown ladies sing dis song—Doo-dah! doo-dah! De Camp-town 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! [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] De long tail filly and de big black hoss—Doo-dah! doo-dah! Dey 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! [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Old muley cow come on to de track—Doo-dah! doo-dah! De bob-tail fling her ober his back—Oh! doo-dah-day! Den fly along like a rail-road car—Doo-dah! doo-dah! Runnin' a race wid a shootin' star—Oh! doo-dah-day! [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] See dem flyin' 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! [Chorus] 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
