Camptown Races

By Stephen Foster
Rise Up Singing chapter: America, p.2

Here's today's song. Have a good dooda-day.

C - G - / C - G C // C - F C / - - G C
Oh, the Camptown ladies sing this song, dooda, dooda
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long, oh dooda day
(alternatively, "Oh dee dooda day")

Chorus:
Going to run all night, going to run all day
I bet my money on the bob-tailed nag, somebody bet on the bay

I went down south with my hat caved in, dooda, dooda
I come back north with a pocket full of tin, oh dooda day
