Stephen Foster published this song in 1850.
)
The Camptown ladies sing this song, Doo-da, Doo-da
The Camptown racetrack’s five miles long, Oh, de doo-da day
Goin’ to run all night, Goin’ to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag, Somebody bet on the gray.
)
Oh, the long tailed filly and the big black horse, Doo-da, doo-da_
Come to a mud hole and they all cut across, Oh, de doo-da day
Goin’ to run all night, Goin’ to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag, Somebody bet on the gray.
)
I went down there with my hat caved in, Doo-da, doo-da_
I came back home with a pocket full of tin, Oh, de doo-da day
Goin’ to run all night, Goin’ to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag, Somebody bet on the gray.
