Sam Cooke Camptown Twist song lyrics

now the camptown ladies they sing this song (doo dah)

they say the camptown racetrack five miles long

I've come down here to see the horses run

and if I don't make money I'll have some fun

because we're gonna twist all night

we're gonna twist all day

if I don't make some money I'll have some fun

twistin' the night away

now the longtailed filly and the big black horse

they tried too take a shortcut and couldn't get across

the black horse stick in a big muddy hole

and the filly wound up around a ten foot pole

I don't care

we're gonna twist all night

we're gonna twist all day

if I don't make some money I'll have some fun

twistin' the night away

you oughtta seem them fly on the ten mile heat

they go round the racetrack and then repeat

now I win my money and the bobtailed neck

I'm gonna keep my money in an old shoebag

we're gonna twist all night

we're gonna twist all day

since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun

twistin' the night away

we're gonna twist all night

we're gonna twist all day

since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun

twistin' the night away
