A Mud - Cut Across Shorty lyrics

Now 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 have had 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 I wanna win." Now Dan had been in training A week before the race He'd made up his mind old Shorty Would end in second place Now Dan with his long legs flying Left Shorty far behind And Shorty heard him holler out "Miss Lucy you'll soon be mine." "Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across." That's what Miss Lucy said "Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across It's you I wanna win." But Shorty wasn't worried He had a smile upon his face He knew that he was gonna win 'Cos Lucy had fixed the race And just like that old story 'bout the turtle and the hare When Dan crossed over the finishing line He found Shorty waiting there "Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across." That's what Miss Lucy said "Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across It's you I wanna win."
