The very telling writing credit for this song goes to "Lennon/McCartney/Starkey." Ringo has said that he'd try to write songs early in his career, "and the other guys would go into laughing jags telling me what song I'd rewritten." Ringo's first credited stab at songwriting is a logical extension of his connection with whiskey-laced country numbers such as "Act Naturally" and is more than passable on those terms (with modest metaphors such as "I could feel my future fold" like a bad poker hand). Pretty decent for a guy who could only re-write other people's songs.
