[Verse 1]
The Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
The Camptown race-track five mile long
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!
I went down there with my hat caved in
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I come back home with a pocket full of tin
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

[Verse 2]
The long tail filly and the big black horse
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
They fly up the track and they both cut across
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!
The blind horse sticken in a big mud hole
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!
[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

[Verse 3]
Old muley cow come on the track
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
The bob-tail fling her over his back
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!
Then fly along like a rail-road car
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
A-Runnin' a race with a shooting star
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

[Verse 4]
See 'em flyin' in a ten mile heat
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Around the race track, then repeat
Oh, da-doo-dah-day!
I win my money on the bob-tail nag
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I keep my money in an old tow-bag
Oh, de-doo-dah-day!
[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
