Know a country boy named Shorty
And a city boy named Dan
Had to prove who could run the fastest
To wed Miss Lucy's hand
Dan had all the money
And he also had the looks
But Shorty must've had that 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"
Whoo
Dan had been in training
About a week before the race
He made up his mind old Shorty
Would end in second place
Dan with his long legs flying
He left Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
"Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine"
"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"
Oh, yeah
It's you I wanna wed
Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause Miss Lucy had fixed the race
Just like that old story
About the turtle and the hare
Dan crossed over the finish line
He found Shorty waiting there
Whoo
"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"
"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"
Oh, yeah
It's you that I wanna wed
Oh, yeah
And here we are
