C 
Now a country boy called Shorty and a 
F 
city boy named Dan, 
       C 
had to prove who could run the fastest 
   D7              G 
to win miss Lucy's hand. 
    C                            F 
Now Dan had all the money and he also 

had the looks. 
    C 
But Shorty must have had something, boys, 
     G7                C 
that can't be found in books. 

Chorus: 
                  F 
Well, 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.' 
       C 
That's what miss Lucy said. 
            F 
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.. 
     G7          C 
it's you I wanna wed. 


     C                           F 
Now, Dan had been in training, a week before 

the race. 
   C                                  D7 
He made up his mind ol' Shorty, would end 
          G 
in second place. 
    C 
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' left 
F 
Shorty far behind. 
    C 
And Shorty heard him holler out.. 
      G7                   C 
'Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!' 

F Well, 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.' C That's what miss Lucy said. F 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.. G7 C it's you I wanna wed.
C F But Shorty wasn't worried, there was a smile upon his face. C He knew that he was a-goin' to win, D7 G cause Lucy had fixed the race. C F And just like that old story, about the turtle and the hare. C When Dan crossed over the finish line, G7 C he found Shorty waiting there.
F Well, 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.' C That's what miss Lucy said. F 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.. G7 C it's you I wanna wed...
OUTRO: G7 C G7 C It's you I wanna wed... it's you I wanna wed. (fade.)
