Hoyt Axton wrote the song, and Three Dog Night made it famous.

Hoyt Axton died, at 61, so maybe ASCAP has the rights now. Hoyt Axton was showing the melody to producers, who asked him to just put any words to it to hear what it might sound like. Hoyt came up with those lyrics, on the spot, and they took hold. Just some insider stuff. I assume you're talking about the rock song.
