Guess the 1960s song lyrics #32

1967. This song is a first person narrative account. The artist and songwriter said her motivation for the lyrics was to show people's apathy and called it a study in "unconscious cruelty." The song was made into a film in 1975 with the same name. Within a decade, this artist from Mississippi lost interest in performing, and quietly and consciously receded from the limelight.
