Rod Stewart Cut Across Shorty letra

(Marijohn Wilkin, Wayne P. Walker)
Original recording by by Eddie Cochrane
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 that something boys
that can't be found in books

Chorus:
and "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"

Wait a minute
Now Dan had been in training
for weeks before the race
He'd made up his mind old Shorty
would end in second place
now Dan with his long legs flying
left Shorty far behind
and Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy will soon be mine

(Chorus)

But Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
'bout the turtle and the hare,
when Danny crossed over the finish line
he found Shorty waiting there

(Chorus)

It's you that I wanna wed, no no
And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed
It's you that I wanna wed
