Well, Katherine, click here for Cowpie's transcription of Loretta Lynn's recording of "The Pill." there's a good chance our country expert Gene Graham can come up with more on that. I searched BMI and ASCAP and couldn't find the other too and found way too many songs with the name "The Pill."
In his book The Incompleat Folksinger, Pete Seeger makes mention of a song called "The Pill," by Matt McGinn. Maybe that will help. Both BMI and ASCAP have him listed - search under
Mc Ginn.
