Cut Across Shorty Lyrics - Singles - Nat Stuckey

Well a country boy named Shorty and a city boy named Dan 

Had to prove who could run the fastest to win Miss Lucy's hand 

Now Dan had all the money and he also had the looks 

But Shorty must've had somethin' boys that can't be found in books 

Well cut across Shorty Shorty cut across that's what Miss Lucy said 

Cut across Shorty Shorty cut across it's you I want to wed 

Now Dan with his long legs flyin' left Shorty far behind 

But Shorty could hear him holler Miss Lucy you'll still be mine 

But Shorty wasn't bit worried with a smile upon his face 

He knew that he was gonna win cause Miss Lucy had fixed the race 

Well cut across Shorty... 

[ guitar ] 

Now Dan had been a training mhm weeks before the race 

And he was sure that little Shorty would end up in second place 

But just like that old story about the turtle and the hare 

When Dan acrossed the finish line he found Shorty waitin' there 

Well cut across Shorty...
