Silver Threads And Golden Needles

Porter Wagoner · The Porter Wagoner Show (RCA Victor) [1963]

(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds)

Norma Jean



I don't want your lonely mansion

With a tear in every room

All I want's the love you promised

Beneath the halo'd moon.



But you think I should be happy

With your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow

While you play your cheating games.



Silver threads and golden needles

Can not 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

Can not mend this heart of mine.



--- Instrumental ---



Silver threads and golden needles

Can not 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

Can not mend this heart of mine.



Silver threads and golden needles

Can not mend this heart of mine...



Note: There is a comedy routine by Curly Harris after this song...
