/B(2x hammer on ) 4x
Now a country boy named 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 must have had 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.
/B(2x hammer on ) 1x
Now, Dan had been in training
About a week before the race
He made up his mind ol' Shorty, would end
in second place.
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' he left
Shorty far behind.
And Shorty heard him holler out..
Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!
Well, 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.
/B(2x hammer on ) 4x
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.
When Dan crossed over the finish line,
he found Shorty waiting there.
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...
/B(2x hammer on )
O yeah, It's you I wanna wed.
/B(2x hammer on ) (3x)
