Wings Upon Your Horns is a 1970 studio album by American country music singer-songwriter, Loretta Lynn.

Contents

Wings Upon Your Horns was the first album of 1970 for Lynn, who would go on to release one additional studio album that year. She wrote or co-wrote six songs for the 11-track album, in which Lynn covered a Merle Haggard song, "I'd Rather Be Gone". The album peaked at #5 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and #146 on the Billboard 200.

The title track was the only single released from the album, as another album was anticipated for the year. This song, written by Lynn alone, reached #11 on the Billboard Country Chart. The audacity of its subject, defloration, graphically referenced by the metaphor of its title, and used as a refrain in its lyrics, reflected the growing frankness about sexuality in the American culture of its time.
