The Pill Lyrics By Loretta Lynn

    you wined me and dined me when i was your girl
    promised if i’d be your wife
    you’d show me the world
    but all i’ve seen of this old world
    is a bed and a doctor bill
    i’m tearing down your brooder house
    ’cause now i’ve got the pill

    all these years i’ve stayed at home
    while you had all your fun
    and every year that’s gone by
    another baby’s come
    theres gonna be some changes
    made right here on nursery hill
    you’ve set this chicken your last time
    ’cause now i’ve got the pill

    this old maternity dress i’ve got
    is going in the garbage
    the clothes i’m wearing from now on
    won’t take up so much yardage
    miniskirts hotpants and a few little fancy frills
    yeah i’m making up for all those years
    since i’ve got the pill

    i’m tired of all your crowing
    how you and your hens play
    while holding a couple in my arms
    another’s on the way

    this chicken’s done tore up her nest
    and i’m ready to make a deal
    and you can’t afford to turn it down
    ’cause you know i’ve got the pill

    this incubator is overused
    because you’ve kept it filled
    the feeling good comes easy
    now since i’ve got the pill

    it’s getting dark
    it’s roosting time
    tonight’s too good to be real
    aw but daddy don’t you worry none
    ’cause mama’s got the pill
    oh daddy don’t you worry none
    ’cause mama’s got the pill
