#1.
D5                      
Now a country boy named Shorty  

And a city boy named Dan,

had to prove who could run the fastest 
   E5              A5
to win miss Lucy's hand.
    D5                            G5
Now Dan had all the money and he also 

had the looks.
    D5            
But Shorty must have had something boys, 
     A5                 D5
that can't be found in books.

CHORUS:
           G5
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.
       
That's what miss Lucy said.
           D5
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
     A5                D5
it's you that I wanna wed.

#2.
     D5                           
Now, Dan had been in training

About a week before the race
                                      E5
He made up his mind ol' Shorty, would end 
          A5
in second place.
    D5           
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' he left 
G5
Shorty far behind.
    D5          
And Shorty heard him holler out..
      A5                   D5
Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!

CHORUS:
                 G5
Well, Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
       
That's what miss Lucy said.
           D5
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
     A5                D5
it's you that I wanna wed.

#3.
    D5                                  
But Shorty wasn't worried, 

there was a smile upon his face.

          E5                  A5
cause old Lucy had fixed the race.
    D5                                   G5
And just like that old story, about the turtle 

and the hare.
     D5                    
When Dan crossed over the finish line,
   A5                    D5
he found Shorty waiting there.

CHORUS 2x:
           G5

     A5                D5
it's you that I wanna wed...
