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 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 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 Is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satin
Where love's a passin 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
