AIR – "Camptown Races."

FROM Illinois there can be found – dudah, dudah,
Two nags upon the campaign ground, dudah, etc.
First "little Dug," I do declare, dudah, dudah.
And "spotted Abe" with kippy hair, dudah, etc.
They are bound to run this fall,
And I am not afraid
To bet my money on "little Dug,"
Who'll bet on "spotted Abe?"

These horses ran one race before, dudah, dudah,
And old Spot's wind proved very poor, dudah, etc.
The pony horse came out ahead, dudah, dudah,
Whilst Abr'am's friends look very sad, dudah, etc.
They are bound to run this fall, etc.

For many years old Abe's been kept, dudah, dudah,
By Giddings he's been rubbed and swept, dudah, etc.

Till all the hair seems off his tail, dudah, dudah,
As though it was done with Hunk's rail, dudah, etc.
They are bound to run this fall, etc.

Some time ago old Parson Pete, dudah, dudah,
This self-same spotted horse did beat, dudah, etc.
And Christians say it is no use, dudah, dudah,
For Abe to run so lank and loose, dudah, etc.
They are bound to run this fall, etc.

No thanks to Corwin, Abe, or clan, dudah, dudah,
Do soldiers want when they've a man, dudah, etc.
Like "Giant Dug," the mighty one, dudah, dudah,
Who never lost a race he run, dudah, dudah, da.
They are bound to run this fall, etc.

Old Abe this fall will surely find, dudah, dudah,
Once more he will be left behind, dudah, etc.
For all the soldiers in the land, dudah, dudah,
With "little Dug" go hand-in-hand, dudah, etc.
They are bound to run this fall, etc.
