I don't want your lonely mansions
with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised
But you think I should be happy with
And hide myself in sorrow while
you play your cheatin' game
Silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
in the warm flow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money,
cause I never was that kind
Silver thread and golden needles
Can a menace hardly fight
Silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm,
You can't buy my love with money,
cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
