Cut Across Shorty - Eddie Cochran

作曲：Wayne P. Walker+Marijohn Wilkin

Now a country boy called 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

Well a cut across shorty shorty cut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

It's you I wanna wed

Now dan had been in training

A week before the race

He made up his mind

Ol' shorty would end in second place

And dan with his long legs a flying

Left shorty far behind

And shorty heard him holler out

Miss lucy you'll soon be mine

Ah well a cut across shorty shorty cut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

It's you I wanna wed

But shorty wasn't worried

There was a smile upon his face

He knew that he was a going to win

Cause 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

Well a cut across shorty shorty cut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty shorty cut across

It's you I wanna wed

It's you I wanna wed

It's you I wanna wed

It's you I wanna wed
