Verse 1:
[A/] She would m[A/]eet me in the morn[E/]ing
On my w[A/]ay down to the ri[E7/]ver
Waiting pa[A7/]tient by [A7/]the chant of every t[E7/]ree[E/]
With her f[A7/]eet already d[E7/]usty
From the p[A7/]athway to the [E7/]levi
And her li[A7/]ttle blue jeans r[E7/]olled up to her k[A/]nees

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[F7/] gets a little lonesome
When i[F7/] hear somebody sayin’
Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
