Gwine to Run All Night, or De Camptown Races (popularly known as Camptown Races) is a minstrel song by Stephen Foster (1826–1864). It was probably composed in Cincinnati in 1849, according to Richard Jackson, and published by F. D. Benteen of Baltimore, Maryland, in February 1850   Keywords: Children, Kids, Boy ,Girl, Nursery Rhyme, Ring Tone, Fun, Ringtone, Mobile, Telephone, Smile, Comedy, Laugh, Happy, School, Nursery, Education, Teach, Benteen published another edition in 1852 with guitar accompaniment under the title, "The Celebrated Ethiopian Song/Camptown Races". Jackson explains that camptowns were communities of "Negro labourers and transients" living in shacks and tents thrown up along the edges of frontier towns, and speculates that Foster may have visited one in either Cincinnati or Pittsburgh, or heard the stevedores along the waterfronts singing or complaining about them] Jackson writes, "Foster quite specifically tailored the song for use on the minstrel stage. He composed it as a piece for solo voice with group interjections and refrain ... his dialect verses have all the wild exaggeration and rough charm of folk tale as well as some of his most vivid imagery ... Together with "Oh! Susanna", "Camptown Races" is one of the best gems of the minstrel era."
