Harrison Crump - Cut Across the Infield Shorty Lyrics

Down in Dallas Texas
Where lovin's nothin' new
Old Slim and Shorty both loved Cindy Lou
They went out to run a foot race
To see who's love was true
The winner soon would marry Cindy Lou
This story's true

When the race got started
Old Slim was way ahead
Cause Shorty's legs were only 2 feet long
But when someone said to Cindy
Old Shorty's rung the gong
The oil-well he's been drilling
Just came through she sang this song

Cut across the infield Shorty
Cut across the infield son
You can beat him if you do it
Jump the fence and then go to it
Fore I know now that you are the one

Cindy wasn't worried
Before the race was run
She locked em both
That's how the story's told
But when someone came and told her
That Shorty had struck gold
She couldn't quite believe
But just in case she hollered oh

Cut across the infield Shorty
Cut across the infield son
You can beat him if you do it
Jump the fence and then go to it
Fore I know now that you are the one

When the race was over
And Shorty he had won
She found out he had paid the guys to say

That the oil and gold were hisn't
And then and there she vowed
To beat him with a club
But Shorty ran out through the crowd

Cut across the infield Shorty
Cut across the infield son
You can beat her if you do it
Jump the fence and then go to it
Fore she knows now that you ain't the one

She caught him and broke his neck
