Verse
The camp-town lad-ies sing this song,
doo-dah, doo-dah!
The camp-town race track's five miles long,
Oh, doo-dah-day!
I went down there with my hat caved in,
doo-dah, doo-dah!
I'll go back home with a case of gin,
Oh, doo-dah-day!
Chorus
Gon-na run all night, gon-na run all day,
I'll bet my mon-ey on the bob-tail nag,
Some-bod-y bet on the bay.
