Faces - Cut Across Shorty текст песни

(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 lucys hand

Now dan had all the money

And he also had the looks

But shorty musta had that something boys

That cant be found in books

Cut across shorty, shorty, cut across

Thats what miss lucy said

Cut across shorty, shorty, cut across

You know its 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 youll soon be mine

Cut across shorty ... but shorty wasnt 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 ...

Its you that I wanna wed, no no

And oh lord its you I wanna wed

Its you that I wanna wed
