Back in 1972 Loretta Lynn ("The Coal Miner's Daughter") wrote and recorded a song called "The Pill" that I think reflected the view of birth control of much of rural America 40 years ago (yes, 40 years ago!!!). So here we are STILL trying to restrict usage of The Pill?
I don't know if a survey has been made but I would be willing to bet that a majority percentage of women across the country - not just the country music listening folks - resonate with this song.
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 tearin’ 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 a 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.
< snip >
This incubator is overused,
Because you’ve kept it filled,
The feelin’ good comes easy now,
Since I’ve got the pill.
It’s gettin’ dark it’s roostin’ time,
Tonight’s too good to be real
Oh, but daddy don’t you worry none,
‘Cause mama’s got the pill.
Perhaps it's time to get this song back on the airwaves?
Edit: H/T to jabney who pointed out the Loretta Lynn didn't write the song but in fact it was written by Lorene Allen, Don McHan, and T. D. Bayless, My bad. Thanks for the WreckList. Only took me about seven years.
