The blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole
Doo-dah! doo-dah!

Old muley cow come on to the track
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
The bob-tail fling her over his back
Oh! de doo-dah day!

Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Running a race with a shooting star
Oh! de doo-dah day!

Goin' to run all night

Somebody bet on the gray

See them flying on a ten mile heat
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
Round the race track, then repeat
Oh! doo-dah day!

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 win my money on the bob-tail nag
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I keep my money in an old tow-bag
Oh! de doo-dah day!
