The song was produced by Wes Farrell[4] and was ranked No. 22 on Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1967.[5]

This basic song is about liberation, involving an unnamed girl who is a fisherman's daughter, who is stranded and tied up in a boat on the dock, where a young man wants to cut that rope, telling her to come on down to his boat, where they would have fun playing and sailing away from her over protective father. Metaphorically it suggests living a much more carefree overall life than she currently leads.
