(Walker, Wilken)
|
|
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 Shorty, Shorty, cut across
|
that's what Miss Lucy 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 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 wed, no no
|
and oh Lord it's you I wanna wed
|
it's you that I wanna wed
|
