Roger Miller, of course, looking down from the big diner in the sky.

MY UNCLE USED TO LOVE ME BUT SHE DIED
(Roger Miller)

CHO: My Uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin'-good and fried.
Keep on the sunny side.
My Uncle used to love me but she died.

Who'll bid me quarter thirty cents for a ring o' keys?
Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries?
I'll have me a car of my own someday, but till then I need me a ride.
My Uncle used to love me but she died. CHO.

Hamburger, cup o' coffee, lettuce an' tomato,
Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligator.
One more time around free on the Ferris wheel ride.
My Uncle used to love me but she died. CHO.

Apples are for eatin' and snakes are for hissin'.
I've heard about a-huggin' an' I've heard about kissin'.
I read about it free in a fifty-cent illustrated guide.
My Uncle used to love me but she died. CHO. TWICE

Well, my Uncle used to love me but she died.

I learned this parody when I was in the seminary:

My Jesus Used to Love Me But He Died

My Jesus used to love me but He died
Hung Him on a cross and they stabbed Him in the side;
Keep on the sunny side,
My Jesus Used to love me but He died

My Jesus used to love me but He died
Rose up on the third day, but the people said He lied;
Keep on the sunny side,
My Jesus Used to love me but He died


I suppose this is appallingly sacrilegious, but I think Jesus would appreciate the humor.

is this song about a transexual?

Felipa, I doubt it. This is the same man who wrote "You Can't Roller-Skate Through a Buffalo Herd." I think he had humor on his mind, not a statement about gender identity.

Gerry, that was almost verbatim my response.

It's from the same school of humour as "Our cow gave no milk so we had to sell him". It's just another nonsense song like,
Martin said to his Man etc.

I had a little chicken who wouldn't lay an egg
so I put him in the water a-boiling in the keg
and the little chicken hollered and the little chicken begged
and the little rooster laid a hard-boiled egg
