Written by Wayne Walker/Marijohn Wilkin

	  		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.

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.
