/************ JODY AND THE KID *************/
written and performed by Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1:
/ / /
She would meet me in the morning
/ /
On my way down to the river
/ / / /
Waiting patient by the chant of every tree
/ /
With her feet already dusty
/ /
From the pathway to the levi
/ / /
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
Bridge: e -----------------|
B ---------------------|

E --0--2--4------------|
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 gets a little lonesome
/
When i hear somebody sayin
Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
