Cut Across Shorty

[00:03.86] Well, a country boy named Shorty
[00:06.78] And a city boy named Dan
[00:09.79] Had to prove who could run the fastest
[00:12.77] To wed Miss Lucy's hand
[00:15.40] Well, Dan, he had all the money
[00:18.33] And he also had the looks
[00:21.32] But Shorty must of had that something boy
[00:24.31] That can't be found in books
[00:28.29] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
[00:31.10] Well, that's what Miss Lucy said
[00:33.85] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
[00:37.06] Well, it's you that I wanna wed"
[00:39.81]
[01:04.16] Well, Dan, he'd been in training
[01:06.95] About a week before the race
[01:09.69] He made up his mind, old Shorty
[01:12.82] Would end in second place
[01:15.53] And Danny, with his long legs flying
[01:18.24] He left Shorty far behind
[01:21.58] And running heard him holler out
[01:24.03] Miss Lucy, that you'll soon be mine
[01:28.11] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
[01:31.43] Well, that's what Miss Lucy said
[01:34.03] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
[01:37.09] Well, it's you that I wanna wed"
[01:39.73]
[02:04.38] Well, Dan, he wasn't worried
[02:07.26] There was a smile upon his face
[02:10.30] 'Cause Lucy had fixed the race
[02:13.13] And just like that old story
[02:16.17] About the turtle and the hare
[02:19.16] When Danny crossed over the finish line
[02:22.05] He found Shorty waiting there
[02:25.93] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
[02:29.15] Well, that's what Miss Lucy said
[02:31.94] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
[02:34.90] Well, it's you that I wanna wed"
[02:38.87] "Well, cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
[02:42.37] That's what Miss Lucy said
[02:44.92] "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
[02:48.29] Well, it's you that I wanna wed"
[02:51.05]
[02:57.85] ... I wanna wed
[02:59.62]
