Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 1]
Now [D]a country
boy [G]named shorty
And a city boy named [D]Dan
[G]Had to [D]prove who could run the fastest
[Eb]To win m[Em]iss [E]Lucy'[D]s hand[G][A][G]
Now [D]Dan had all the money
[G]And he also had the loo[D]ks
But shorty must have had something
boys that [A]can't be found in [D]books

[Verse 2]
Cut across [G]shorty, shorty cut across
[D]That's what miss Lucy said
Cut across [G]shorty, shorty cut across
[A]It's you I wanna win[D]

[Verse 3]
Now [D]Dan [G]had been in [D]training
[G]A week before the rac[D]e
He'd made up his mind
old [G]shorty[Eb]
Would [Em]end in s[A]econd place
Now [D]Dan with his long legs flying
Left [G]shorty far behind
And [D]shorty heard him holler out
"Miss [A]lucy you'll soon be [D]mine"

[Verse 4]
Cut across [G]shorty, shorty cut across
That's [D]what miss Lucy said
Cut across [G]shorty, shorty cut across
[A]It's you I [D]wanna [G]win[D]

[Interlude 1]

[D][G][A][Bb]

[Verse 5]
But [Eb]shorty wasn't worried
He had a [Ab]smile upon his face
[Eb]He knew that he was gonna win
'Cause [F]Lucy had fixed the [Bb]race
And [Eb]just like that old story 'bout
[Ab]the turtle and the hare
When [Eb]Dan crossed over the finishing line
[Bb]He found shorty waiting ther[Eb]e

[Verse 6]
Cut across [Ab]shorty, shorty cut across
That's [Eb]what [Ab]miss Lucy[Bb][Eb]
[Ab]said[Eb][Ab][Bb]

Cut [Eb]across [Ab]shorty, shorty cut across
[Bb]It's you I wanna win
