Kris Kristoferson (1936) es un cantautor norteamericano muy cercano al country, si bien no a las corrientes que han predominado dentro del género en los últimos 20 años.
Sus composiciones han sido cantadas por muchos gigantes del mundo de la música como Janis Joplin, que se apoderó de su versión de "Me and Bobby McGee".También el rey, Elvis Presley grabó 2 de sus canciones: "For the good times" y "Help me make it through the night".

written and performed by Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1: A/ A/ E/ She would meet me in the morning A/ E7/ On my way down to the river A7/ A7/ E7/ E/ Waiting patient by the chant of every tree A7/ E7/ With her feet already dusty A7/ E7/ From the pathway to the levi A7/ E7/ A/ And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
Bridge: e -----------------| B ---------------------| G ---------------------| D ---------------------| A -----------0---------| E --0--2--4------------|
Verse 2: A I'd pay her no attention
As she tagged along beside me D Trying hard to copy everything i did E7 But i couldn't keep from smiling E When i hear somebody saying A Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
Verse 3: A Even after we grew older
We can still be seen together E7 As we walked along the levi holding hands
For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman A And i lived enough to call myself a man
Verse 4: A And she often lay beside me
In the coolness of the evening A7D Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed E7 And on times when she was sleeping E I would smile and i'd remember A How they use to call us Jody and the kid
Verse 5:(half a tone higher) Bb Now the words are a little older
And the years have changed the river Bb7Eb Cause now they're houses where they didn't used to be F7 And on Sundays i go walking F Down the pathway to the levi Bb With another little girl who follows me
Verse 6: Bb And it makes the ole folks smile
To see her tag along beside me F7 Doing little things the way her mama did F7/ But it gets a little lonesome F7/ When i hear somebody sayin' Bb Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
