#1.
D MajorD
Now a country boy named Shorty

And a city boy named Dan,

had to prove who could run the fastest
  A augmentedA
to win miss Lucy's hand.
  G+G
Now Dan had all the money and he also

had the looks.
  D MajorD
But Shorty must have had something boys,
   D MajorD
that can't be found in books.

CHORUS:
      G+G
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.

That's what miss Lucy said.
      D MajorD
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
   D MajorD
it's you that I wanna wed.

#2.
   D MajorD
Now, Dan had been in training
About a week before the race
                   E MajorE
He made up his mind ol' Shorty, would end
     A augmentedA
in second place.
  D MajorD
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' he left
G+G
Shorty far behind.
  D MajorD
And Shorty heard him holler out..
   D MajorD
Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!

CHORUS:
         G+G
Well, Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across

That's what miss Lucy said.
      D MajorD
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
   D MajorD
it's you that I wanna wed.

Solo:

#3.
  D MajorD
But Shorty wasn't worried,

there was a smile upon his face.

     A augmentedA
cause old Lucy had fixed the race.
  G+G
And just like that old story, about the turtle

and the hare.
   D MajorD
When Dan crossed over the finish line,
  D MajorD
he found Shorty waiting there.

CHORUS 2x:
      G+G
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.

That's what miss Lucy said.
      D MajorD
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
   D MajorD
it's you that I wanna wed...

OUTRO:
Dsus2Dsus2
O yeah,    It's you I wanna wed.
