She would meet me in the morning On my way down to the river Waiting patient by the chinaberry tree
her With feet already dusty
>From the pathway to the levy
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
pay I'd her no attention
As she tagged along beside me Trying hard to copy everything I did
But I couldn't keep from smiling
When I'd hear somebody saying 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 holding hands
For as surely as the season 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 of the evening
Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed
And at times when she was sleeping I'd 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 walking 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 Doing 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
