Air: Camptown Races by Stephen Foster
There's an old Gray Horse whose name is Buck,
Du da, du da ;
His dam was Folly and his sire Bad Luck,
Du da, du da, day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
Will anybody bet on the Gray ?
The Mustang Colt is strong and young,
Du da, du da ;
His wind is sound and his knees not sprung,
Du da, du da, day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
Will anybody bet on the Gray ?
The old Gray Horse is a well-known hack,
Du da, du da ;
He's long been fed at the public rack,
Du da, du da, day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
Will anybody bet on the Gray ?
The Mustang is a full-blood colt,
Du da, du da;
He cannot shy and he will not bolt,
Du da, du da day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
Will anybody bet on the Gray ?
The old Gray Horse, when he tries to trot,
Du da, du da ;
Goes round and round in the same old spot,
Du da, du da day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
Will anybody bet on the Gray ?
The Mustang goes at a killing pace,
Du da, du da;
He's bound to win the four mile race,
Du da, du da day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
Will anybody bet on the Gray ?
Then do your best with the old Gray hack,
Du da, du da;
The Mustang Colt will clear the track,
Du da, du da day.
Chorus:
we're bound to work all night,
We're bound to work' all day ;
I'll bet my money on the Mustang Col
You'd better not bed on the Gray.
