As recorded by Sam Cooke (From the 1962 Album TWISTIN' THE NIGHT AWAY) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                                            D7
Now the camptown ladies they sing this song (doo dah)

             G                                 D7  G
They say the camptown racetrack five miles long

                                         D7
I've come down here to see the horses run

         G                                  D7  G
And if I don't make money I'll have some fun
[Chorus]
G
Because we're gonna twist all night

      C               G
We're gonna twist all day

G
If I don't make some money I'll have some fun

D                   G
Twisting the night away
[Verse 2]
G                                               D7
Now the longtailed filly and the big black horse

     G                                                D7  G
They tried too take a shortcut and couldn't get across

                                         D7
The black horse stick in a big muddy hole

        G                                    D7
And the filly wound up around a ten foot pole

G
I don't care
[Chorus]
G
We're gonna twist all night

      C               G
We're gonna twist all day

G
If I don't make some money I'll have some fun

D                   G
Twisting the night away
[Verse 3]
G                                             D7
You oughtta seem them fly on the ten mile heat

        G                                  D7  G
They go round the racetrack and then repeat

                                         D7
Now I win my money and the bobtailed neck

          G                              D7  G
I'm gonna keep my money in an old shoebag
[Out-Chorus]
G
We're gonna twist all night

      C               G
We're gonna twist all day

G
Since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun

D                   G
Twisting the night away

G
We're gonna twist all night

      C               G
We're gonna twist all day

G
Since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun

D                   G
Twisting the night away

G
Since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun
