The camptown ladies sing this song doo-dah
The camptown race track's five miles long oh doo-dah day
I came down there with my hat caved in doo-dah-
I'll go back home with my pocket full of tin oh doo-dah day
Goin' to run all night goin' to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag somebody bet on the bay
[ ac.guitar ]
The camptown ladies sing this song doo-dah...
