De Camptown Races Songtext
von Al Jolson

Oh, the Camptown ladies sing this song, oh-doo-da, doo-da
Camptown racetrack′s five miles long, oh-doo-da-day
I come down there with my hat caved in oh-doo-da-doo-da
Go back home with my pocket full of tin oh-doo-dah-day
Goin' to run all night, yeah, goin′ to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag, somebody bet on the bay

The long-tail Filly and the big black horse (doo-da, doo-da)
They fly the track, and you both gotta cross (ooh-doo-da-day)
The blind horse stricken with a big butthole (doo-da, doo-da)
He can't touch bottom with a 10-foot pole (ooh-doo-da-day)
Goin′ to run all night, yeah, goin′ to run all-day
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag, somebody bet on the bay


Newly crowned on the track (doo-da, doo-da)
Bobtail fling all over his neck (oh-doo-da-day)
Went flying along like a railroad car (doo-da, doo-da)
Runnin′ the race with a shooting star (oh-doo-da-day)
Goin' to run all night, goin′ to run all day
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag and somebody bet on the bay

See them flying on the ten-mile heat (doo-da, doo-da)
Round the racetrack then repeat (oh-doo-da-day)
I′ll win my money on the bobtail nag (doo-da, doo-da)
Keep my money on old town bag (oh-doo-da-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
Somebody bet on the bay
