  the Camptown race-track's five miles long oh doodah-day
                                          A7 
  I came down there with my hat caved in doodah-doodah
           D                                   A7         D 
  I'll go back home with my pocket full of tin oh doodah-day.

R:Going to run all night going to run all day
                            Hmi           Emi    A          D 
  I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag somebody bet on the bay.
2.The long-tail filly and the big black horse doodah-doodah
  they fly the track and they both cut across oh doodah-day
  the blind horse sticking a big mud hole doodah-doodah
  can't touch bottom with a ten-foot pole oh doodah-day.
R:3. Old muley cow comes onto track doodah-doodah
  the bobtail flung her over her back oh doodah-day
  then flew along like a railroad car doodah-doodah
  running a race with a shooting star oh doodah-day.
R:4. See them flying on a ten mile heat doodah-doodah
  round the race-track then repeat oh doodah-day
  I win my money on the bobtail nag doodah-doodah
  I keep my money in an old tow bag oh doodah-day.
