This is one of Stephen Foster's most popular songs and is still popular today. This song can be found on my CD ' Somewhere Between The Blue & The Gray" on iYunes at:itunes.apple.c.... The CD is also available at :tomroush.us
this was my favourite record, when i was about 7, unfortunately it broke in half, no superglue back then. it took me a week to get over it's loss. the rest of the small collection, just weren't the same after that ? so i went for long walks in the greenbelt forest instead. stuck in london now, not very mobile anymore. i really do, miss the freedom of the trees ? so thank you, to the donor of this blog, for bringing back a childhood memory
@@nathanielmartinez2007Stephen Foster the man who wrote and made the song died many years ago. But the voice in this video, Tom Roush died a year and a half ago.
I’m only 16 and I really like this song! I think some of the Carol Burnett characters/ actors hum this song in some of the skits- that’s how I found this classic I think 😅💙🔥
The Camptown ladies sing this song. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! The Camptown race-track's 5 miles long. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! I come down here with my hat caved in. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! I go back home with a pocket full of tin. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! Gonna run all night. Gonna run all day. I bet my money on the bob-tail nag, somebody bet on the bay. The long-tail filly and the big black hoss. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! They fly a-track and they both cut across. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! The blind hoss stickin' in a big mud hole. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! Can't touch the bottom with a 10 foot pole. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! Gonna run all night. Gonna run all day. I bet my money on the bob-tail nag, somebody bet on the bay. Old muley cow come on the track. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! The bob-tail fling her over his back. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! Then fly along like a railroad car. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! Runnin' a race with a shootin' star. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! Gonna run all night. Gonna run all day. I bet my money on the bob-tail nag, somebody bet on the bay. See them flyin' on a 10 mile heat. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! 'Round the race-track, then repeat. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! I win my money on the bob-tail nag. Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah! Keep my money in an old tote bag. Oh! Doo-Dah-Day! Gonna run all night. Gonna run all day. I bet my money on the bob-tail nag, somebody bet on the bay.
Camptown races was supposedly a real place in Bradford County. I was born and raised in the Bradford area (Elmira NY). Foster went to school at the Tioga point academy in Athens Pennsylvania for a yr.
