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 |
| [00:13.16] |
|
| [00:14.72] |
her With feet already dusty |
| [00:17.35] |
|
| [00:18.22] |
>From the pathway to the levy |
| [00:20.59] |
|
| [00:21.22] |
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees |
| [00:26.60] |
|
| [00:27.85] |
pay I'd her no attention |
| [00:30.26] |
|
| [00:31.13] |
As she tagged along beside me |
| [00:34.81] |
Trying hard to copy everything I did |
| [00:39.93] |
|
| [00:41.67] |
But I couldn't keep from smiling |
| [00:44.79] |
|
| [00:45.29] |
When I'd hear somebody saying |
| [00:48.82] |
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid |
| [00:54.37] |
|
| [00:58.99] |
Even after we grew older |
| [01:02.76] |
We could still be seen together |
| [01:05.45] |
|
| [01:06.20] |
As we walked along the levy holding hands |
| [01:11.75] |
|
| [01:13.00] |
For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman |
| [01:19.56] |
|
| [01:20.81] |
And I'd lived enough to call myself a man |
| [01:25.17] |
|
| [01:26.55] |
And she often lay beside me |
| [01:30.04] |
In the coolness of the evening |
| [01:33.16] |
|
| [01:33.72] |
Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed |
| [01:39.12] |
|
| [01:40.43] |
And at times when she was sleeping |
| [01:43.93] |
I'd smile when I'd remember |
| [01:46.89] |
|
| [01:47.48] |
How they use to call us Jody and the kid |
| [01:52.32] |
|
| [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 |
| [02:09.04] |
|
| [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 |
| [02:22.85] |
|
| [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 |
| [02:36.53] |
|
| [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 |
