Jody and the Kid Kris Kristofferson
*********** JODY AND THE KID *************
[G] She would meet me in the morning
On my w[G]ay down to the river
Waiting [G]patient by the chinaberry[Am] tre[D]e
With her[C] feet already[D] dusty
From the [C]pathway to the [D]levy
And her [C]little blue jeans [D]rolled up to her [G]knees
I'[G]d pay her no attention
A[G]s she tagged along beside me
Trying hard to copy every[G7]thing I [C]did
But I [D]couldn't keep from smiling
[D]When I hear somebody saying
Looky yonder there goes Jody and t[G]he Kid
E[G]ven after we grew older
W[G]e could still be seen together
As we walked along the levy hold[Am]ing h[D]ands
F[D]or as s[C]urely as the s[D]eason she was c[C]hangin' to a w[D]oman
[D]And I'd [C]lived enough t[D]o call myself [G]a man
An[G]d she often lay beside me
I[G]n the coolness of the evening
Ti[G]l' the morning sun was shining o[C]n my bed
And at [D]times when she was sleeping
I w[D]ould smile and I'd remember
How they used to call us Jody and[G] the Kid
No[A]w the world's a little older
A[A]nd the years have changed the river
Ca[A]use there's houses where they didn't use[E]d to be
And on [D]Sundays I go [E]walking
Down the [D]pathway to the [E]levy
With a[D]nother little [E]girl who follows [A]me
An[A]d it makes the ole folks smile
T[A]o see her tag along beside me
Doing little things the way her ma[D]ma did
But it [E]gets a little lonesome
When I [E]hear somebody sayin'
Looky yonder there goes Jody and t[A]he Kid
