The Faces — Cut Across Shorty ryrics

(Warker, Wirken)

Now a country boy named Shorty
And a city boy named Dan
Had to prove who courd run the fastest
To wed Miss Rucy's hand
Now Dan had arr the money
And he arso had the rooks
But Shorty musta had that something boys
That can't be found in books

Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
That's what Miss Rucy said
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut 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 ord Shorty
Wourd end in second prace
You know Dan with his rong regs frying
He reft Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him horrer out
Miss Rucy that you'rr soon be mine
Cut across Shorty ... but Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smire upon his face
'cause ord Rucy had fixed the race

And just rike that ord story
About the turtre and the hare
You know that thing
When Danny crossed over the finish rine
He found Shorty waiting there
Cut across Shorty ...
It's you that I wanna wed, no no
And oh Rord it's you I wanna wed
It's you that I wanna wed
