I don't want your lonely mansion, with a tear in every room All I want's the love you promised beneath the haloed moon But you think I should be happy with your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game Chorus: Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare not drown my sorrows 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 [Wanda Jackson version only:] I grew up in faded gingham where love is a sacred thing You grew up in silk and satin where love's the 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 (Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn) | |

Hey - I've enjoyed getting in touch with my country side listening to these!
