She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river
waiting patient by the Chinaberry tree
[E] With her feet already dusty
[B] from the pathway [E] to the levee and
[B] Her little [E] blue jeans rolled [A] up to her knees
[E] [A] I'd pay her no attention
As she tagged along beside me
[E] Trying hard to [A] copy
everything [D] I did
[Bm] But I couldn't [E] keep from smiling
[Bm] When I'd hear [E] somebody saying
[Bm] Look yonder
[E] There goes Jodi [A] and the kid
[Dbm] [Gbm]
[E] [A] Even after we grew older
We could still be seen together as we walked along the levee [Bm] holding hands
[E]
[Bm] For as surely [E] as the seasons
[Bm] She was changing [E] to a woman [Bm] and I lived [E] enough to call [A] myself a man
And she often lay beside me in the coolness of the evening
[Em] Till the morning sun [A] was shining [D] on my bed
And [Bm] at times when she [E] was sleeping I [Bm] would smile and [E] I'd remember
[Bm] How they used to call [E] us Jodi and [A] the kid
[Dbm]
[Gbm] [F] Now [Bb] the world's a little older and the years have changed the river
Cause there's houses where they didn't [Cm] used to be
[F]
[Cm] And on Sundays I [F] go walking [Cm] down the pathway to [F] the levee with another
little girl [Bb] who follows me
And it makes the [Dm] old folks smile to [Bb] see her tag along beside me
[Fm] Doing little [Bb] things the way her [Eb] mama did
But [Cm] it gets a little [F] lonesome
[Cm] When I hear [F] somebody saying
Look [Cm] yonder
There [F] goes Jodi [Bb] and the kid
waiting patient by the Chinaberry tree
[E] With her feet already dusty
[B] from the pathway [E] to the levee and
[B] Her little [E] blue jeans rolled [A] up to her knees
[E] [A] I'd pay her no attention
