trying to grok

If Scurvyboy is right in the comments for "Jody," then this song is either a coincidence or it draws upon the WWII usage, which brings us back to square one. Fascinating but also frustrating. Googling "Jody etymology affair" turned up nothing.

Aha!

http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorj.htm#jody

It's really from "Joe the (Grinder)"!

For the record, the magic Google words were "Jody slang etymology."

I'd come across the Jody reference in a couple of books about Vietnam, and I'd been rather confused by it. Thanks, Amritas and Sarah.

jody was a stock character in the soul music of the late sixties and early seventies...that darker shades ltd. song is one of many (at least dozens) of jody-related songs...here are a handful of others:
bobby patterson, "right on jody"
bobby newsome, "jody come back and get your shoes"
johnnie taylor, "jody got your girl and gone"
jean knight, "don't talk about jody"
joe williams jr., "don't let me catch you, jody"
ann sexton, "you've been gone too long" ("...now jody's got your girl and gone")
