[ti:Jody And The Kid] [ar:Kris Kristofferson] [al:The Essential Kris Kristoffers] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Jody And The Kid - Kris Kristofferson [00:02.45]She would meet me in the morning [00:05.26]On my way down to the river [00:08.82]Waiting patient by the chinaberry tree [00:14.81]With her feet already dusty [00:17.99]>From the pathway to the levy [00:21.36]And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees [00:28.10]I'd pay her no attention [00:31.28]As she tagged along beside me [00:34.92]Trying hard to copy everything I did [00:41.91]But I couldn't keep from smiling [00:45.53]When I'd hear somebody saying [00:49.27]Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid [01:00.88]Even after we grew older [01:03.32]We could still be seen together [01:06.50]As we walked along the levy holding hands [01:13.37]For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman [01:21.04]And I'd lived enough to call myself a man [01:26.81]And she often lay beside me [01:30.24]In the coolness of the evening [01:33.98]Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed [01:41.66]And at times when she was sleeping [01:44.28]I'd smile when I'd remember [01:47.83]How they use to call us Jody and the kid [01:57.99]Now the world's a little older [02:01.61]And the years have changed the river [02:04.86]Cause there's houses where they didn't used to be [02:11.22]And on Sundays I go walking [02:14.59]Down the pathway to the levy [02:17.96]With another little girl who follows me [02:24.26]And it makes the old folks smile [02:27.63]To see her tag along beside me [02:31.25]Doing little things the way her mama did [02:37.93]But it gets a little lonesome [02:41.61]When I hear somebody sayin' [02:45.66]Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
