WANDA JACKSON - SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES lyrics

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

[ guitar ]

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
