Faces - Cut Across Shorty lyrics

rate me

(walkerwilken)

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 musta had that something boys

That can't be found in books

Cut across shortyshortycut across

That's what miss lucy said

Cut across shortyshortycut across

You know it's you that I wanna wed

Wait a minute

Now dan had been in training

About a week before the race

He made up his mind old shorty

Would end in second place

You know dan with his long legs flying

He left shorty far behind

Shorty heard him holler out

Miss lucy that you'll soon be mine

Cut across shorty ... 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

You know that thing

When danny crossed over the finish line

He found shorty waiting there

Cut across shorty ...

It's you that I wanna wedno no

And oh lord it's you I wanna wed

It's you that I wanna wed
