Needle and Thread - Richard Thompson, Michael Jerome, Danny Thompson

I see young girls with old faces

I see good girls in bad places

I see plain girls in finery

And every one be the death of me

Needle and Thread, Needle and Thread

Hand me down my Needle and Thread

Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey

Going to thread up my needle and then

Gonna sew my soul back together again

Now pretty Caitlin she went too far

Shaking all she had at the topless bar

Right in the face of Ben and Bob

Put a little too much into the job

Now sweet Myfanwe she took a shine

Dumped me for Dai worked down the mine

I was a temp, Dai was a keeper

He knew how to dig that little bit deeper

Now Bonnie Jean meant everything

But she threw back my hard-earned ring

Said she had other men who dig her

She was holding out for something bigger
