[ti:Jody And The Kid] [ar:Kris Kristofferson] [al:Original Album Classics] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Jody And The Kid - Kris Kristofferson [00:02.44]She would meet me in the morning [00:05.12]On my way down to the river [00:08.82]Waiting patient by the chinaberry tree [00:14.72]With her feet already dusty [00:18.22]From the pathway to the levy [00:21.22]And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees [00:27.85]I'd pay her no attention [00:31.13]As she tagged along beside me [00:34.81]Trying hard to copy everything I did [00:41.67]But I couldn't keep from smiling [00:45.29]When I'd hear somebody saying [00:48.82]Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid [00:58.99]Even after we grew older [01:02.76]We could still be seen together [01:06.20]As we walked along the levy holding hands [01:13.00]For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman [01:20.81]And I'd lived enough to call myself a man [01:26.55]And she often lay beside me [01:30.04]In the coolness of the evening [01:33.72]Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed [01:40.43]And at times when she was sleeping [01:43.93]I'd smile when I'd remember [01:47.48]How they use to call us Jody and the kid [01:57.75]Now the world's a little older [02:01.05]And the years have changed the river [02:04.55]Cause there's houses where they didn't used to be [02:10.91]And on Sundays I go walking [02:14.22]Down the pathway to the levy [02:17.61]With another little girl who follows me [02:24.07]And it makes the old folks smile [02:27.50]To see her tag along beside me [02:30.99]Doing little things the way her mama did [02:37.90]But it gets a little lonesome [02:41.33]When I hear somebody sayin [02:45.34]Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
