She is !
It's been suggested, as the song wasn't ideally suited to Elvis' style, that Dolly was mis-remembering the title,
& that the song involved was actually Coat of Many Colours !
That may have suited him better, but I can't see her making such an error...

There are quite a few songs that resulted from a jam session. I doubt they asked the composer(s) beforehand for permission to record it.
Apart from the movie songs, though several were translations from or based on foreign songs, a lot of what Elvis recorded had been recorded before by others.

It was the fact that the greedy old bastard Parker wanted a cut of the song.
