Loretta Lynn
"The Pill" lyrics

The Pill

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

There's 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, hot pants
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 is 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
But 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
