Fun fact, this version of the song is a demo, likely made in 1960, and was the version used on The Genius of Roger Miller box set. It was recorded as a single by Faron Young in 1961, who sped it up, changed two or three words, and got himself a writing credit. The lyrics changed slightly again when Roger re-recorded the song for his 1970 album, "A Trip In The Country." No recording tops the demo version though.
