Depending on the source some list it as a Joni original, and others credit Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. Wikipedia says she covered it, and the original was done around 1960. I'm guessing the label probably miscredited the song on the album. Kind of comforting to know it's a cover though... when I first heard the song it gave me an entirely different picture of who Joni was. :P
