#1.
D
Now a country boy named Shorty

And a city boy named Dan,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

#3.
    D
But Shorty wasn't worried,

there was a smile upon his face.

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

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

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

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

OUTRO:
Dsus2
O yeah,       It's you I wanna wed.

Dsus2 (3x)
