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
