Cut across shorty (live bbc recording)


(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 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
You know it's 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 you'll soon be mine
Cut across shorty ... 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 ...
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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Faces were a British rock band active from 1969 to 1975. They formed after the departure of Steve Marriott from The Small Faces, with the original lineup consisting of Ronnie Lane (bass), Ian McLagan (keyboards), Kenney Jones (drums) and Rod Stewart (vocals). Their sound was characterized by a mix of classic rock and roll, blues and pub rock influences, with often ironic and self-deprecating lyrics. Among their most famous songs are "Stay With Me", "Pool Hall Richard" and "Ooh La La". The album "A Nod Is As Good As A Wink... To a Blind Horse" (1971) is considered a classic of the genre. After Lane's departure in 1973, the band disbanded in 1975. Rod Stewart went on to have a highly successful solo career, while the other members continued to collaborate on various musical projects.
