Chart history

The song became a hit in the U.S. on both the Billboard Hot 100 (#58) and Country (#39) charts. On Cash Box it reached #45.^[1] The song was a bigger hit in Canada, where it peaked at number 26 on the Pop singles chart.^[2]

Miller was raised by his aunt and uncle.^[3] He later rewrote the song, changing the nonsensical but suggestive lyrics about an "uncle" to "mama" instead, as included on his 1973 album Dear Folks, Sorry I Haven't Written Lately.
