Lyrics
She would meet him in the morning
On his way down to the river
Waiting 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
And he'd pay her no attention
As she tagged along beside him
Trying hard to copy everything he did
But I'd often see him smile
When he'd hear somebody say
"Looky yonder, there goes Jody and the kid"
Well, even after they grew older
They could still be seen together
As they walked along the levee holding hands
For as surely as the seasons
She was changing to a woman
And he'd lived enough to call himself a man
And I'd often watch them walking
In the coolness of the evening
Till the morning sun was shining on my bed
And sometimes when she was sleeping
I'd smile when I'd remember
How we used to call them Jody and the kid
Now the world's a little older
And the years have changed the river
'Cause there's houses where a house has never been
And on Sundays he goes walking
Down the pathway to the levee
With another little girl that follows him
And it makes the old folks smile
To see her tag along beside him
Doing little things the way her mama did
But I know that he gets lonesome
When he hears somebody saying
"Looky yonder, there goes Jody and the kid
Looky yonder, there goes Jody and the kid"
