Comments

Although William Roberts copyrighted this song 1962, there are great doubts whether he actually wrote it. It is assumed the actual author was Dino Valenti (also known as Chester Powers or Jesse Oris Farrow). Halleck Miller, William Roberts' ex-girlfriend, also claims it is based on a song of hers titled "Baby Please Don't Go to Town".
