Song Lyrics
Even after we grew older we could still be seen together, as we walked along the levee holding hands and, with another little girl who follows me and it makes the old folks smile to see her tag along beside me doin little things the way her mama did
Now the world s a little older and the years have changed the river, looky yonder there goes jody and the kid, waitin patient by the chinaberry tree
She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river, she would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river
Looky yonder there goes jody and the kid, and her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees, till the morning sun was shining on my bed
cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee, and i d paid her no attention as she tagged along beside me trying hard to copy everything i did
And i d lived enough to call myself a man, she would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river
even after we grew older we could still be seen together
Till the morning sun was shining on my bed, cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee, and i d lived enough to call myself a man
how they used to call us jody and the kid
But it gets a little lonesome when i hear somebody saying, she would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river, waitin patient by the chinaberry tree
and i d paid her no attention as she tagged along beside me trying hard to copy everything i did
how they used to call us jody and the kid
cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee
And i d lived enough to call myself a man, waitin patient by the chinaberry tree the, and her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
looky yonder there goes jody and the kid
and her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee, but it gets a little lonesome when i hear somebody saying, and she often lay beside me in the coolness of the evening
As we walked along the levee holding hands, but i couldn t keep from smiling when i d hear somebody saying
how they used to call us jody and the kid
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee, till the morning sun was shining on my bed
She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river, cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee
For as surely as the seasons she was changing to a woman, and her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees Kris, but i couldn t keep from smiling when i d hear somebody saying
and she often lay beside me in the coolness of the evening
as we walked along the levee holding hands
Waitin patient by the chinaberry tree, as we walked along the levee holding hands
Cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee, how they used to call us jody and the kid
Looky yonder there goes jody and the kid, but it gets a little lonesome when i hear somebody saying Kris, and i d paid 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 d hear somebody saying
cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee
And at times when she was sleeping i would smile when i d remember, cause there s houses where they didn t used to be and on sundays i go walking down the pathway to the levee the, looky yonder there goes jody and the kid
with her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees, waitin patient by the chinaberry tree, but i couldn t keep from smiling when i d hear somebody saying
And at times when she was sleeping i would smile when i d remember, till the morning sun was shining on my bed
