譯詞:張 易 作曲:Stephen Foster
聽康城女郎唱賽馬歌 Doo-da doo-da
看康城賽馬場長十里 好個賽馬場
我歪戴帽子來此地 像個 流氓
我轉回家時滿袋子錢 真好生意
白天賽不完 晚上在繼續
我只買那一隻黃色馬別的馬全不理
大公馬色馬母馬尾長 Doo-da doo-da
跑起來拼命不相讓 都要得頭獎
那大公馬掉進大泥坑 笑斷肚腸
等掙扎半天爬上岸 真不像樣
白天賽不完 晚上在繼續
我只買那一隻黃色馬別的馬全不理
別的馬全不理
別的馬全不理
全不理嘿!
哈!爽!
詞曲:Stephen Collins Foster
The Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo-da, doo-da
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long
Oh, de doo-da day
The long tail filly and the big black horse
Doo-dah, doo-dah
They fly the track and they both cut across
Oh, de doo-dah day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay
I come down with my hat caved in
Doo-dah, doo-dah
I go back home with a pocket full of tin
Oh, de doo-dah day
The blind horse stickin' in a big mud hole
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Can't touch the bottom with a ten foot pole
Oh, de doo-dah day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Old brown cow came on to the track
Doo-dah, doo-dah
The bob-tail fling her over his back
Oh, de doo-dah day
Then fly along like a rail-road car
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Runnin' a race with a shootin' star
Oh, de doo-dah day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay
See them flyin' on a ten mile heat
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Round the race track, then repeat
Oh, doo-dah day
I win my money on the bob-tail nag
Doo-dah, oh doo-dah
I keep my money in an old tow-bag
Oh, de doo-dah day
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on the bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the bay
中文歌詞主要翻譯自原文,這首真的比較少人用唱的,大部分都是利用旋律而已。
