now a country boy called shorty
and a city boy named dan
had to prove who could run the fastest
to win miss lucy's hand
now dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
but shorty must have had something, boys
that can't be found in books
well, a-cut across shorty, shorty cut across
that's what miss lucy said
cut across shorty, shorty cut across
it's you i wanna wed
now dan had been in training
a week before the race
he made up his mind
ol' shorty would end in second place
and dan with his long legs a-flyin'
left shorty far behind
and shorty heard him holler out
miss lucy, you'll soon be mine
but shorty wasn't worried
there was a smile upon his face
he knew that he was a-goin' to win
'cause lucy had fixed the race
and just like that old story
about the turtle and the hair
when dan crossed over the finish line
he found shorty waiting there
Eddie Cochran (Edward Raymond Cochran; October 15, 1938 – April 17, 1960) was an American singer and songwriter considered one of the pioneers of rockabilly. His music, characterized by fast tempos, incisive guitar riffs, and energetic lyrics, had a profound influence on pop music in the 1950s and 1960s. Cochran was born in Albertville, Alabama, but moved to California as a child. He began his musical career playing in Los Angeles clubs before signing with Liberty Records in 1957. His first success was "Summertime Blues", a song that became a rockabilly classic and reached number one on the US charts. Other hits include "C'mon Everybody", "Twenty Flight Rock", and "Somethin' Else". Cochran collaborated with artists like Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis, contributing to defining the aesthetics and style of rockabilly. His career was tragically cut short in a car accident in 1960 at the age of 21. Despite the brevity of his career, Eddie Cochran is considered a fundamental figure in the history of rock and roll.
