Oh the camptown ladies sing this song,
doo dah, doo dah.
Camptown racetrack's five miles long,
all the doo dah day.
Going to run all night, going to run all day.
Bet my money on the bobtail nag,
somebody bet on the bay.
Oh the long-tailed filly and the big black hoss ...
came to the mudhole and they both cut across ...
Went down south with my hat caved in,...
I came back north with a pocket full of tin ....
The blind hoss stuck in a big mudhole ...
Can't touch bottom with a ten-foot pole ...
Old muley cow came on the track ...
The bobtail fling her over her back ...
They fly along like a railroad car ...
running a race with a shooting star ...
See them flying on a ten-mile heat ...
Round the racetrack then repeat ...
I win my money on the bobtail nag ...
I keep my money in an old totebag ...
