What is stephen foster camptown races?

"Camptown Races" is a popular minstrel song written by Stephen Foster and first published in 1850. The song tells the story of a horse race in a small town called Camptown. The catchy chorus, "Goin' to run all night, goin' to run all day, I bet my money on the bobtail nag, somebody bet on the bay," has made the song a classic American tune and a staple in American folk music. Foster wrote many other popular songs, including "Oh! Susanna," "My Old Kentucky Home," and "Beautiful Dreamer." Despite his success as a songwriter, Foster died at a young age, struggling with alcoholism and financial troubles.
