    C           
The Camptown ladies sing this song,

Doo-da, Doo-da
    C
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long
F             C
Oh, de doo-da day

C
Goin' to run all night
F                C
Goin' to run all day
  C 
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
F                   C
Somebody bet on the gray

        C
Oh, the long tailed filly and the big black horse,
F
Doo-da, doo-da
C
Come to a mud hole and they all cut across,
F             C
Oh, de doo-da day

Goin' to run all night

Goin' to run all day
  C 
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag

Somebody bet on the gray

  C
I went down there with my hat caved in,
F
Doo-da, doo-da
  C
I came back home with a pocket full of tin
F             C
Oh, de doo-da day

Running a race with a shooting star
Oh! de doo-dah day!
