Silver Threads And Golden Needles

I don't want your lonely mansion With a tear in every room I just want the love you promised Beneath the halo'd moon But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And pretend that I don't notice While you play your cheatin' games Silver threads and golden needles Can't patch up this heart of mine And I never drown my sorrow In the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money For I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles Can't patch up this heart of mine I grew up in in faded gingham Where love is a sacred thing You grew up in silk and satin Where love is a passin' game I know now you never loved me And I know I was the fool To think your cry would let you Live by the golden rule Silver threads and golden needles Can't patch up this heart of mine And I never drown my sorrow In the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money For I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles Can't patch up this heart of mine --- Silver Threads And Golden Needles - Wanda Jackson
