Nat Stuckey - Cut Across Shorty lyrics

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... 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...
