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 musta 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' Now Dan had been in training About a week before the race He made up his mind old Shorty Would end in second place And Dan with his long legs flying He left Shorty far behind 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 'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race And just like that old story About the turtle and the hare, you know that thing When Danny crossed over the finish line He found Shorty waiting there It's you that I wanna wed, no no And oh lord it's you I wanna wed It's you that I wanna wed
