(verse 1) 
           G 
She would meet me in the mornin' on my way down to the river, 
                                    Am - D 
Waiting patient by the China Berry tree;  
          Am            D              Am             D 
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee, 
          Am                D               D 
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees. 
     G            Em7             G           Em7 
I'd pay her no attention as she tagged along beside me,  
        G              G7         C 
Trying hard to copy ev'rything I did;  
        Am                        D              Am        D 
But I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying: 
        Am                  D            G 
"Look a-yonder; there goes Jody and the kid." 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
After we grew older, we could still be seen together,  
As we walked along the levee holding 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 evening, 
'Til the morning sun was shining on my bed;  
And at times, when she was sleeping, 
I would smile when I'd remember, 
How they used to call us "Jody and the kid." 
 
 
 
(verse 3) 
          G                 Em7            G                     Em7 
Now, the world's a little older, and the years have changed the river, 
              G                        Em7       Am  - D 
'Cos there's houses where they didn't used to be;  
         Am            D              Am             D 
And on Sundays I go walking down the pathway to the levee, 
       Am            D                G 
With another little girl who follows me.  
        G                    Em7             G         Em7 
And it makes the old folks smile to see her tag along beside me,  
        G            G7           C 
Doing little things the way her Mamma did.  
        Am            D               Am              D 
But it gets a little lonesome, when I hear somebody saying: 
        Am                D            G 
"Look yonder; there goes Jody and the kid."
