Camptown Races
S. Foster
arrangement by the Duhks


INTRO: D

G
The Camptown ladies sing this song
D
Doo-dah, doo-dah
    G
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long
D             G
Oh de-doo-dah-day


The long tail filly and the big black hoss
Doo-dah, doo-dah
They fly the track and they both cut across
Oh de-doo-dah-day


CHORUS:
G                G7
Goin' to run all night
C                G
Goin' to run all day
     G
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag
D                  
Somebody bet on the bay


I come down with my hat caved in
Doo-dah, doo-dah
I go back home with a pocket full of tin
Oh-de-doo-dah-day

The blind hoss stickin' in a big mud hole
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Can't touch the bottom with a ten foot pole
Oh-de-doo-dah-day


CHORUS


Old brown cow came onto the track
Doo-dah, doo-dah
The bobtail fling her over his back
Oh-de-doo-dah-day

They fly along like a railraod car
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Runnin' a race with a shootin' star
Oh-de-doo-dah-day


CHORUS


See them flyin' on a ten mile heat
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Round the racetrack then repeat
Oh-de-doo-dah-day

I win my money on the bobtail nag
Doo-dah, doo-dah
I keep my money in an old tow-bag
Oh-de-doo-dah-day


CHORUS
