Tanzbeschreibung

Text von Stephen Foster, ca. 1850

1. The Camptown 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
