The Camptown ladies sing this song,

The Camptown racetrack's five miles long
A             D
Oh, de doo-da day

D
Goin' to run all night
G                D
Goin' to run all day

I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
A                   D
Somebody bet on the gray

        D
Oh, the long tailed filly and the big black horse,

Oh, de doo-da day

I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
A                   D
Somebody bet on the gray

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

Goin' to run all night

More Verses:

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

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

Old muley cow come on to the track
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
The bob-tail fling her over his back
Oh! de doo-dah day!

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

Then fly along like a rail-road car
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Runnin' a race with a shootin' star
Oh! de doo-dah day!

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

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

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

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

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