1972. This song has been recorded several times including by Helen Reddy. This version was by a 13 year old who went on to stardom and a relationship with a much older Glen Campbell. Even at 13,her voice was gravelly and low. She ranked number 9 on the CMT Greatest Outlaws Dirty Dozen, the only woman to appear on that list. In this song, the title character is a faded former Southern belle, who is obsessed with the long-ago memory of a suitor who jilted her.
