Mormon Tabernacle Choir Camptown Races
The Campptown ladies sing this song, Doo-da, Doo-da The Camptown racetrack's five miles long Oh, de doo-da 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
Oh, the long tailed filly and the big black horse, Doo-da, doo-da Come to a mud hole and they all cut across, Oh, de doo-da 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 went down there with my hat caved in, Doo-da, doo-da I came back home with a pocket full of tin Oh, de doo-da 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
