Silver Threads And Golden Needles Lyrics - 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 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
