Background


The song was written in a bathtub in a suite at the Hotel Earle in Greenwich Village. Fricker wrote the song - her first composition - in the bathroom because "it was the only place ... the cockroaches would not go".

It was originally performed by Fricker and her future husband Ian Tyson as the duo Ian & Sylvia, and they recorded it in 1963 for their 1964 album on the Vanguard label, Northern Journey. Ian and Sylvia re-recorded the song in 1972 with their band Great Speckled Bird, reaching No. 4 on the Canadian easy listening chart.

The song was published in sheet form by M. Witmark & Sons of New York City in 1965.
