Bing Crosby – Camptown Races lyrics
De Camptown ladies sing dis song, doo-dah! doo-dah!
De Camptown 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!

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!
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!

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!
Den fly along like a rail-road car, doo-dah! doo-dah!
Runnin' a race wid a shootin' 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 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!

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.
