lyrics

The Camptown ladies sing this song
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long

The long tailed filly and the big black horse,
They come to a mud hole and we all cut loose

Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray

I went down there and my hat caved in,
I came back home with a pocket of sin

The blind hoss sticken' in a big mud hole
We all touch bottom with an empty soul

Then it all flies along like a rail-road car
Running in our brains like a shooting star

See them flying on a ten mile heat
Go 'round and around, and we repeat

I win my money on the bob-tail nag
I keep my money in an old tow-bag
