African Americans please help......trying to get the words to historic song?
it goes like this:
O' d Camptown ladies sing dis song.....dooo daaa
a great piece of Black Americana
The song has nothing to do with black people, its about some guy going to the race track and trying to win money
De Camptown ladies sing this song,
Doo-da, Doo-da
De Camptown racetrack's five miles long
Oh, de doo-da day
I went down South with my hat caved in,
Doo-da, doo-da
I came back North with a pocket full of tin
Oh, de doo-da day
Chorus
==================================
Gwin to run all night
Gwin to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray
==================================
De long tail filly and de big black hoss,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Dey fly de track and de both cut across
Oh, de doo-da day.
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole
Oh, de doo-da day.
Chorus
Old mulley cow come onto de track,
Doo dah! doo dah!
De bobtail fling her ober his back,
Oh, de doo-da day.
Den fly along like a railroad car,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Runnin' a race wid a shootin' star
Oh, de doo-da day.
Chorus
See dem flyin' on a ten mile heat,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Round de race track den repeat,
Oh, de doo-da day.

Doo dah! doo dah!
I keep my money in an old towbag,
Oh, de doo-da day.
