No, someone called Jerry Jeff Walker wrote it, he was in a band called Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. I don't know them and you had me on some google hunt, because I was convinced it was Sammy Davis jr. who wrote it, but it turns out he just sang it (along with Nina Simone and a bunch of others.) :0)

The Nitty gritty Dirt Band were the country band in the film Paint Your Wagon starring Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood.

my favourite version is John Holt if you get the chance try and listen to it, i'd be interested what you think, cause its one of my favourite songs of all time.
