Silver Threads & 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 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 a fool

To think your pride 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 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
