[Em]
[Am] [G] She would [C] meet me in the morning on my way down to the river, waiting patient by the
China berry [Dm] tree.
With [F] her feet [Dm] already dusty [F] from the pathway [Dm] to the levee, [F] and her little blue [G] jeans rolled
up to [C] her knees.
And I'd pay her no attention as she tagged along beside me, trying hard to copy everything
[F] I did.
[Dm] But I couldn't keep [G] from smiling [Dm] when I'd hear [G] somebody saying, [Dm] look yonder, [G] there goes
Jody [C] and the kid.
[Em] [Am] [G]
[C] Even after we grew older, we could still be seen together as we walked along the levee [Dm] holding hands.
[F] For as surely [Dm] as the seasons, [F] she was changing [Dm] to a woman, [F] and I'd lived enough [G] to call [C] myself a man.
As she often lay beside me in the coolness of the evening, till the morning sun was shining
[F] on my bed.
[D] And at times when she [G] was sleeping, [Dm] I would smile when [G] I'd remember [D] how they used to [G] call
us Jody [C] and the kid.
[D] [F#m] [Bm] [A]
Now [D] the world's a little older, and the years have changed the river, cause there's houses
where they didn't [Em] used to be.
And [G] on Sundays I [Em] go walking [G] down the pathway [Em] to the levee [G] with another [A] little girl who [D] follows me.
And it makes the old folks smile to see her tagged along beside me, doing little things
the way her [G] mama did.
[Em] But it gets a little [A] lonesome [Em] when I hear [A] somebody saying, [Em] look yonder, [A] there goes Jody
[D] and the kid.
