Miss Libba used to say that she wrote this for the woman next door who tattled on her. Libba said she took great delight in sitting on her front porch and playing and singing it as loud as she could. The mean woman next door looked over and said what a nice song that Libba was singing. Libba just smiled and thanked her.
