De Camptown Races
S. Foster
De Camptown ladies sing dis song,
Doodah, doodah,
De Camptown race track five miles long,
Oh! Doodah day!
I came down dah wid my hat cav'd in,
Doodah, doodah,
I go back home wid a pocket full ob tin
Oh! Doodah day.
Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to ride 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,
Doodah, doodah,
Dey fly de track and dey both cut across,
Oh! Doodah day!
De blind hoss stickin' in a big mud hole
Doodah, doodah,
Can't touch de bottom wid a ten-foot pole,
Oh! Doodah day.
Gwine to ride, etc.
Old Muley cow came on to de track,
Doodah, doodah,
De bob-tail fling her ober his back,
Oh! Doodah day!
Den fly along like a railroad car,
Doodah, doodah,
Runnin' a race wid a shootin' star,
Oh! Doodah day.
Gwine to ride, etc.
