I believe John also wrote and sang "Gentle on my mind" which is on the flip side of this record. I remember him singing it on the Glen Campbell Show years ago. Glen redid the song and it hit the charts. I still have the John Hartford record around somewhere which I bought years ago for a couple of cents at a local county fair. A local radio station used to bring all their records there they did not want and spread them out on a large table for sale. Those were the days.

(i was thinking about another song which includes a wash. mach.
Jackson Browne's song that says "Baby's feeling funny in the morning,
she has a hard time getting into her jeans, la la la la la la
next thing i know she was all moved in and i was buying her a
washing machine..." at first i thought the lyrics were about him
haveing a hard time getting into her jeans, and then i realized that was not the case!!)
