She would meet me
in the mornin'
on my way down to the river
waitin' patient by the
chinaberry tree
With her feet already dusty
from the pathway to the levy
And her little blue jeans
rolled up to her knees
I'd pay her no attention as
she tagged along beside me
Tryin' hard to copy
everything I did
But I couldn't keep
from smilin' when I'd hear
somebody sayin'
Looky yonder,
there goes Jody and the kid
Even after we grew older
we could still be seen together
as we walked along the levy
holdin' hands
For as surely as the seasons
she was changin' to a woman
And I'd lived enough to call
myself a man
And she often lay beside me
in the coolness 0f the evenin'
til' the mornin' sun was
shinin' on my bed
And at times when she
was sleeping I would smile
when I'd remember
how they use to call us
Jody and the kid
Now the world's a little older
And the years have changed
the river
Cause there's houses
where they didn't used to be
And on Sundays I go walkin'
down the pathway to the levy
with another little girl
who follows me
And it makes the old folks
smile to see her
tag along beside me
Doin' little things the way
her mama did
But it gets a little lonesome
when I hear somebody sayin'
Looky yonder,
there goes Jody and the kid
