Cut Across Shorty

Cut Across Shorty - Carl Smith

A country boy named shorty

And a city boy named dan

Had to prove who could run the fastest

To wed miss lucy's hand

Now dan had all the money

And he also had the looks

But shorty must've had that something boys

That can't be found in books

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

It's you that i wanna wed

That dan with his long legs flying

He left shorty far behind

But shorty heard him holler out

Miss lucy that you'll soon be mine

But shorty wasn't worried

There was a smile upon his face

He knew that he was a-goin' to win

'Cause Lucy had fixed the race

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

You know it's you that i wanna wed

Now dan had been in training

A week before the race

And he would short like shorty

Would end in second place

But just like that old story

About the turtle and the hare

When dan crossed over the finish line

Will found waiting shorty there

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

You know it's you that i wanna wed

You know it's you that i wanna wed

You know it's you that i wanna wed

You know it's you that i wanna wed

You know it's you that i wanna wed
