             SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES

     I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
     I just want the love you promised,beneath the halo moon
     But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
     And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game

     Chorus
     Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend 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 cannot mend this heart of mine

     I grew up in faded gingham,where love's a sacred thing
     You grew up in silk and satin,where love's a passing 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
