Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah
The camptown racetrack five miles long, oh doo-dah day
I came down here with my hat caved in, doo-dah, doo-dah
I go back home with a pocket full of tin, oh doo-dah day

Gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

A long tail filly with a big black horse, doo-dah, doo-dah
Fly the track and the both cut across, oh doo-dah-day
A blind horse stickin’ in a big mud hole, doo-dah, doo-dah
Can't touch bottom with a ten-foot pole, oh, doo-dah-day

Gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

Old muley cow comin’ on to the track, doo-dah, doo-dah
The bobtail fling her over his back, oh doo-dah-day
Fly along like a railroad car, doo-dah, doo-dah
Run the race with a shootin' star, oh, doo-dah-day

Gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all day
Lost my money on a bobtail nag
Ah doo-dah day

See them flyin' on a ten-mile heat, doo-dah, doo-dah
Round the racetrack, then repeat, oh doo-dah-day
I win my money on a bobtail nag, doo-dah, doo-dah
I keep my money in an old tow-bag, oh, doo-dah-day

Gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all day
I'll bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Not me, baby
Bet on the bay
