The Pill (feat. Allan Taylor, Pete Stanley & Brian Golbey)

The Pill - Matt McGinn

The pill the pill

I'm pining for the pill

I'll never have any more

Because they're going to bless the pill

I wed when I was seventeen

I hadnae many brains

Says I the very thing is to do

Is fill the house with weans

But when I got a roomful

I went to see the priest

To tell him my man Willie was behaving like a beast

The pill the pill

I'm pining for the pill

I'll never have any more

Because they're going to bless the pill

He gave me such a terrible row

My eyes were filled with tears

How long have you been wed

Says he says I

This seven years

Says he

You'd better give over all your evil

Sinful tricks

You've been married seven years

And you've only got the six

The pill the pill

I'm pining for the pill

I'll never have any more

Because they're going to bless the pill

Now I'm coming up for forty

In my faith I've aye been true

The very last time I tallied them

I counted twenty two

But now I've lost the notion

For we're running short o' names

Though Willie he would welcome more

He's fond o' having weans

The pill the pill

I'm pining for the pill

I'll never have any more

Because they're going to bless the pill

Now they're talking o' the pill

They've filled my heart wi' hope

I'm sitting here and waiting

On a signal frae the pope

I went along to buy some

At eight nine a tin

I hope we hae the Pope's okay

Before my man comes in

The pill the pill

I'm pining for the pill

I'll never have any more

Because they're going to bless the pill
