(Marijohn Wilkin, Wayne P. Walker)Now a country boy named Shortyand a city boy named Danhad to prove who could run the fastestto wed Miss Lucy's handNow Dan had all the moneyand he also had the looksBut Shorty musta had that something boysthat can't be found in booksChorus:"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"That's what Miss Lucy said"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut acrossYou know it's you that I wanna wed"Wait a minuteNow Dan had been in trainingabout a week before the raceHe made up his mind old Shortywould end in second placeYou know Dan with his long legs flyinghe left Shorty far behindShorty heard him holler outMiss Lucy that you'll soon be mine(Chorus)But Shorty wasn't worriedThere was a smile upon his face'Cause old Lucy had fixed the raceAnd just like that old storyabout the turtle and the hare, you know that thingwhen Danny crossed over the finish linehe found Shorty waiting there(Chorus)It's you that I wanna wed, no noAnd oh Lord it's you I wanna wedIt's you that I wanna wed
