"My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died" is a 1966 song by Roger Miller. It was the fourth of four singles released from Miller's fourth LP, Words and Music , all of which became U.S. Top 40 Country hits.
The song became a hit in the U.S. on both the Billboard Hot 100 (#58) and Country (#39) charts. [1] On Cash Box it reached #45. [2] The song was a bigger hit in Canada, where it peaked at number 26 on the Pop singles chart. [3]
Miller was raised by his aunt and uncle. [4] He later rewrote the song, changing the nonsensical but suggestive lyrics about an "uncle" to "mama" instead, as included on his 1973 album Dear Folks, Sorry I Haven't Written Lately.
