"The Pill" lyrics
"The Pill"
(originally 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
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 over-used 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

Nick Lowe - "She's Got Soul" I've just met what could be
The making of me
She's got soul
She's got soul
Out of the blue, into my world
I've found a pearl
She's got soul
She's got soul
I've been lonely so long
I stopped hoping...
William Bell - "Poison In The Well" She didn't have to do too much
The moment I saw her face
It was all over for me
The moment I fell from grace
I don't know how it happened
But it went from bad to worse
It's true what they say about...
John Hiatt - "Nothing In My Heart" There's nothing in my heart
There's nothing in my heart
There's just the darkest part
To hide my love away
I keep the memories
I keep the memories
In a hole dug down so deep
To hide my love away...
Nanci Griffith - "Tecumseh Valley" The name she gave was Caroline
Daughter of a miner
And her ways were free and it seemed to me
The sunshine walked beside her
She came to Spencer 'cross the hill
She said her Pa had sent her
'Cause...
