Eddie Cochran Cut Across Shorty Lyrics

Cut Across Shorty Lyrics

now a country boy called 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 have had
something, boys

that can't be found in books



well, a-cut
across shorty, shorty cut across

that's what miss lucy said

cut
across shorty, shorty cut across

it's you i wanna wed



now
dan had been in training

a week before the race

he made up his
mind

ol' shorty would end in second place

and dan with his long
legs a-flyin'

left shorty far behind

and shorty heard him holler
out

miss lucy, 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

and just like that old
story

about the turtle and the hair

when dan crossed over the
finish line

he found shorty waiting there
