    D                                
The Camptown ladies sing this song,  
A               
Doo-da, Doo-da  
    D                                     
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long  
A             D    
Oh, de doo-da day  
   
  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  
   
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  
   
        D                                           
Oh, the long tailed filly and the big black horse,  
A               
Doo-da, doo-da  
D                                            
Come to a mud hole and they all cut across,  
A             D    
Oh, de doo-da 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  
   
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
