Rod Stewart - Cut Across Shorty lyrics

(marijohn wilkin, wayne p. walker)<br><br>Now a country boy named shorty<br>And a city boy named dan<br>Had to prove who could run the fastest<br>To wed miss lucy's hand<br><br>Now dan had all the money<br>And he also had the looks<br>But shorty musta had that something boys<br>That can't be found in books<br><br>Chorus:<br>'cut across shorty, shorty, cut across'<br>That's what miss lucy said<br>'cut across shorty, shorty, cut across<br>You know it's you that I wanna wed'<br><br>Wait a minute<br>Now dan had been in training<br>About a week before the race<br>He made up his mind old shorty<br>Would end in second place<br>You know dan with his long legs flying<br>He left shorty far behind<br>Shorty heard him holler out<br>Miss lucy that you'll soon be mine<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>But shorty wasn't worried<br>There was a smile upon his face<br>'cause old lucy had fixed the race<br>And just like that old story<br>About the turtle and the hare, you know that thing<br>When danny crossed over the finish line<br>He found shorty waiting there<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>It's you that I wanna wed, no no<br>And oh lord it's you I wanna wed<br>It's you that I wanna wed
