Verse 1

  She would meet me in the morning

  On my way down to the river

  Waiting patient by the chant of every tree

  With her feet already dusty

  From the pathway to the levi

  And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees

Bridge

Verse 2

  I'd pay 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 hear somebody saying

  Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid

Verse 3

  Even after we grew older

We can still be seen together

  As we walked along the levi holding hands

For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman

  And i lived enough to call myself a man

Verse 4

  And she often lay beside me

In the coolness of the evening

  Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed

  And on times when she was sleeping

  I would smile and i'd remember

  How they use to call us Jody and the kid

Verse 5

(half a tone higher)

  Now the words are a little older

And the years have changed the river

  Cause now they're houses where they didn't used to be

  And on Sundays i go walking

  Down the pathway to the levi

  With another little girl who follows me

Verse 6

  And it makes the ole 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'

  Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
