Cut Across, Shorty:Eddie Cochran.
Recorded in 1959.
#1.
C
Now a country boy called Shorty and a
F
city boy named Dan,
C
had to prove who could run the fastest
D7 G
to win miss Lucy's hand.
C F
Now Dan had all the money and he also
had the looks.
C
But Shorty must have had something, boys,
G7 C
that can't be found in books.
CHORUS:
F
Well, 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.'
C
That's what miss Lucy said.
F
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
G7 C
it's you I wanna wed.
#2.
C F
Now, Dan had been in training, a week before
the race.
C D7
He made up his mind ol' Shorty, would end
G
in second place.
C
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' left
F
Shorty far behind.
C
And Shorty heard him holler out..
G7 C
'Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!'
CHORUS:
F
Well, 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.'
C
That's what miss Lucy said.
F
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
G7 C
it's you I wanna wed.
#3.
C F
But Shorty wasn't worried, there was a smile
upon his face.
C
He knew that he was a-goin' to win,
D7 G
cause Lucy had fixed the race.
C F
And just like that old story, about the turtle
and the hare.
C
When Dan crossed over the finish line,
G7 C
he found Shorty waiting there.
CHORUS:
F
Well, 'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.'
C
That's what miss Lucy said.
F
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..
G7 C
it's you I wanna wed...
OUTRO:
G7 C G7 C
It's you I wanna wed..it's you I wanna wed.(Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
