Album	The Very Best Of Eddie Cochran

	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
	It's you that I wanna wed'
	Now Dan had been in training
	About a week before the race
	He made up his mind old Shorty
	Would end in second place
	And 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, shorty, cut across'
	That's what Miss Lucy said
	'cut across Shorty, shorty, cut across
	It's you that I wanna wed'
	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, shorty, cut across'
	That's what Miss Lucy said
	'cut across Shorty, shorty, cut across
	It's you that I wanna wed'
	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
