Now 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...

Now Dan had all the money...
And he also had the looks...
But Shorty must~a had that something boys..
That can't be found in books...

Oh well a' Cut across Shorty
Shorty, cut across'...
That's what Miss Lucy said~...
'Cut across Shorty
Shorty, cut across...
It's you I want to wed'...

Now Dan had been in training
A week before the race
He'd made up his mind old Shorty
Would end in second place
And Dan with his long legs a'~flyin'..
Left Shorty far behind
And Shorty heard him holler out...
"Miss Lucy you'll soon be mine!"

Oh well a' Cut across Shorty
Shorty, cut across'...
That's what Miss Lucy said~...
'Cut across Shorty
Shorty, cut across...
It's you I want to wed'...

But Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
He knew that he was a~goin' to win..
'Cause Lucy had fixed the race..
And just like that old story
About the turtle and the hare
When Danny crossed over the finish line..
He found Shorty waiting there...

Oh well a' Cut across Shorty
Shorty, cut across'...
That's what Miss Lucy said~...
'Cut across Shorty
Shorty, cut across...
It's you I want to wed'...

It's you I want to wed....
It's you I want to wed....
It's you I want to wed....
