Silver Threads and Golden Needles - Wanda Jackson
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'll never drown my sorrows
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 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 a 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'll never drown my sorrows
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
