De Camptown Races Lyrics by The Mellomen

Meet Me Down on Main Street

0

[Verse 1]
Camptown ladies sing this song—Doo-dah, doo-dah
Camp-town race-track five miles long—Oh, doo-dah day
Come down there with the hat caved in—Doo-dah, doo-dah
Go back home with a pocket full of tin—Oh, doo-dah day

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I’ll bet my money on a bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

[Verse 2]
Long tail filly and a big black horse—Doo-dah, doo-dah
Fly the track and they both cut across—Oh, doo-dah-day

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
I’ll bet my money on a bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay

[Verse 3]
The blind horse sticking in a big mud hole—Doo-da, doo-dah
He can’t touch bottom with a ten foot pole—Oh, doo-dah-day
They fly along like a rail-road car—Doo-dah, doo-dah
Like running a race with a shootin’ star—Oh, doo-dah-day

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night (Gwine to run all night)
Gwine to run all day (Gwine to run all day)
'Causе I’ll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somеbody bet on the bay

[Verse 4]
Then see them flying on a ten mile heat—Doo-dah, doo-dah
Round the race track, then repeat—Oh, doo-dah-day
I win my money on the bob-tail nag—Doo-dah, doo-dah
I keep my money in an old tow-bag—Oh, doo-dah-day

[Chorus]
Gwine to run all night (Gwine to run all night)
Gwine to run all day (Gwine to run all day)
I’ll bet my money on de bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Ohh doo-dah-day
