Maybe it was Dickie Betts' amorous adventure, because he wrote the tune.

When I lived in Savannah, I would go to Drayton Tower to hang out with some of the SCAD students and I soon learned that running rampant through the cemetery downtown in the middle of the night was a popular pastime. |
The site you sent: songfacts.com, is great. I am - and probably always will be - a bit of a Luddite w/ regards to this infernal machine, and any assistance is greatly appreciated. Yes, it was Dickie, but I wasn't going to put his name out there. However, you have correctly deduced the malfactor in the story.
Did you ever go to the H & H Restaurant in Macon? That was the hangout for all of the Capricorn bands in the '70s - 'early '80s. There are some great stories from there. Momma Louise and her crew served some of the best fried chicken and all of the fixens.
Guess it's time for me to crash and burn. The fire is going good and I'm getting ready to vegitate and shut this thang down for a bit. Have a good one and I'll be in touch.
Peace... L.S.o G.
