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
Chorus:
’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
