Camptown Twist by Sam Cooke Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1962

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
Twisting 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
Twisting 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
Twisting 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
Twisting the night away
