Camptown race-track five miles long Oh doo-dah day
I come down dah wid my hat caved in Doo-dah doo-dah

Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run 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 Doo-dah doo-dah
Dey fly de track and dey both cut across Oh doo-dah-day
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole Doo-dah doo-dah
Can’t touch bottom wid a ten foot pole Oh doo-dah-day
Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I’ll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on de bay
Old muley cow come on to de track Doo-dah doo-dah
De bob-tail fling her ober his back Oh doo-dah-day
Den fly along like a rail-road car Doo-dah doo-dah
Runnin’ a race wid a shootin’ star Oh doo-dah-day
Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I’ll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on de bay
