Jody and the Kid

歌詞

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 levee 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 levee 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 of the evenin' Till the morning sun was shinin' on my bed And at times when she was sleepin', 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 levee 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
