Ronstadt, Linda - Silver Threads And Golden Needles Lyrics






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

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 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
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
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

    when I was young I had such a crush on this lady

  3. M.... P....

    Though both are good, I SO MUCH prefer the version with the fiddle solo than the one with the slide guitar solo.

  4. A.... B....

    Loved her over 45 years!

  5. J.... H....

    Delicious

  6. D.... W....

    Silver Threads and Golden Needles is such a simple but complex song; it's easy to play and harmonize the vocals, but it's deep.

  7. D.... D....

    Let’s face it. Linda Ronstadt kicks ass! Go Linda, let it rip!

  8. D.... S....

    Howlin at the moon song

  9. E.... C....

    If this doesn't send chills down your spine your dead

    E.... C....

    good one - this song MOVES

  10. G.... P....

    THAT'S A SWEETHEART!!! 💖💥

  11. J.... P....

    Linda was left out of Ken Burns' 2019 Country Music documentary which was a glaring omission.

    J.... P....

    You can not fix stupid! Beauty and a voice!!!

    J.... P....

    Even stupider is leaving Linda out of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

  12. d.... a....

    Heat wave by linda ronstadt

  13. n.... ....

    too bad both those eagles turned out to be the biggest DOOSHES in all of music, greedy fuggs

  14. p.... c....

    The female elvis

  15. K.... O....

    I call her The Voice. The lady can sing anything and make it her own

  16. I.... S....

    Some of the dam best steel guitar on this song.

  17. N.... P....

    Nice voice, but lacks the emotion of the original, by the Springfields, IMHO.

  18. U.... ....

    Honestly, this woman can sing anything!

  19. S.... N....

    I love this song. I thought it was the original but Skeeter Davis did it in the early 60s. Both versions are great.

  20. J.... ....

    Goo stuff. Always listening to her 70s stuff. Love it.

  21. C.... L....

    TOO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THEIR THUMBS UP...BRAVO TOO THE OTHERANS BOOOOO .......GET A LIFE THAT YOU ENJOY ...IF YOU CAN FIND IT...

  22. J.... L....

    When will we see a movie of this magnificent woman's life? And who would they cast to play her role, especially if they wanted someone to actually sing in their own voice rather than lip sync?

  23. D.... H....

    ahh so good

  24. B.... L....

    💯🔥

  25. J.... N....

    Love this song

  26. W.... E....

    She’s a wonderful female vocalist.

  27. R.... B....

    Linda has been my favorite for years and years! Love her! She was so special!

  28. J.... F....

    The best of the best. Saw her in Connecticut in 1973.

  29. R.... B....

    I loved Linda Rhonstadt! Saw her in concert before she got Parkinson's! She was wonderful!

  30. C.... F....

    Gorgeous important pipes.

  31. B.... ....

    D Parton needs to stick to writing and let this lady do the singing

    B.... ....

    BeckyOTC well she can’t sing anymore due too her Parkinson’s disease. I know she has a beautiful heart and beautiful voice and it’s sad that she cant sing again

  32. R.... L....

    Threw a sword not time. Light, and the needle, needles.

  33. A.... N....

    We Hispanics also enjoyed Linda in her interpretation of Spanish love songs .

    A.... N....

    Linda was the champion of crossover music in every genre. Untouchable.

    A.... N....

    Yes, beautiful in Spanish or English.

    A.... N....

    Al Navarijo,
    "We Hispanics also enjoyed ..."

    I hope you were not thinking that NON-Hispanics were not also enjoying her "Canciones de mi Padre" every bit as much as you were.

  34. K.... B....

  35. g.... w....

    who played fiddle on this song?

  36. C.... L....

    WHAT EVER FOR WHATS IT WORD BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR ALMOST30 YEARS I FOUND IT QUE SERRA

    C.... L....

    @Christiaan Leemans have been a music lover all my life, sang a lot in church till I got asthma and used to play piano years ago

    C.... L....

    @jennifur sun I GREW UP WITH MUSIC WHEN I WAS A BABY IN 1962 THE FIRST RECORD I REMEMBER AS A BABY WAS BABY SITTING BOOGIE... MY FATHER HAD AN OLD RECORDPLAYER WITH A LIT ON TOP WHEN I HEARD THE BABY HE HAD TOO PICK ME UP CAUSE I THAUGHT THE BABY WAS IN THE REORDPLAYER

    C.... L....

    @Christiaan Leemans grew up on it too. some of my first recordings I ever heard, were old 78 records and some Lps and 45s. my dad and mom sang around the house and my dad used to sing to me when I was small

    C.... L....

    @jennifur sun THOSE WERE THE DAYS...SEEMS TOO BE ALL FADING AWAY WITH MODERN THEGHNOLIGY

    C.... L....

    @Christiaan Leemans true

  37. T.... ....

    The start of country rock, in my opinion -- one of my very favorite genres of music. BOY ... I fell HARD for that voice.

  38. M.... S....

    So many beautiful songs from Linda...
    SHE'S THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME!

  39. D.... L....

    the best pipes of her era, you could understand every word, she thrilled her audiences and gave her heart to every appearance. we will miss her.on stage.

  40. S.... C....

    My mom tough my sister and I how to do the gitterug to this song!!! That was a great memory...

  41. M.... M....

    Any one want to dance ?

  42. D.... ....

    That's such a cute picture but it's not the way she normally looks -- which is cute but less like the Playmate of the Month.

  43. E.... D....

    Sounds like largely if not entirely recorded live. Not easy to do as I understand it...

  44. B.... D....

    Right there - wonderful. Thanks Linda.

  45. K.... F....

    Linda: Saw you circa 1973 in Seattle/Tacoma. You opened for Jackson Browne; came out in a little sundress with bare feet and sang with the sweetest voice I ever heard. Had a serious crush on you back in the day. Still do. Best of luck to you always.

  46. T.... F....

    no golden needles in this DARK UNDERGROUND HELL eh

  47. J.... Z....

    Not one person knows the meaning behind this song.

  48. D.... H....

    You got that right girl🥀☝️🥀Beautiful song

  49. R.... L....

    I always wished she had turned out more country-flavored material. This is great.

  50. R.... 1....

    FOR DEBBIE CRIGER MY FIRST WIFE __SHE WAS COOL !!

  51. B.... S....

    Great country song.

  52. R.... L....

    Great song! I love the country side of LR.

  53. j.... z....

    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

    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 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
    And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
    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

    j.... z....

    Thank you for the lyrics!

  54. C.... S....

    If she's so righteous, then damn Jerry Brown for his communist wants...

  55. B.... L....

    I'm getting a "Can't Buy Me Love" prequel vibe

  56. B.... ....

    She played at our senior all-night party at Disneyland in 1971. I believe the Stone Ponies backed her.

  57. D.... ....

    Great memories from the good old days"

  58. G.... K....

    In my opinion, Ms Ronstadt, the absolute best over a wide genre range.

  59. E.... ....

    Chills.

  60. G.... K....

    Simply, the best,  What an amazing vocal range, very few come close to this great artiste.

  61. R.... A....

    Slamming. If you caught her in concert ...it was transformational. Still listening.

  62. d.... f....

    linda in her prime was the biggest HAMMER there was! any rebuttle? and don't ask me would I.................

  63. D.... H....

    Great song it's Beautiful

  64. M.... R....

    I saw her on the Berkeley campus at the Hearst Amphitheater, my memory is a little foggy she might have been dating Jerry Brown at the time but what I do remember clearly? She was wearing a cub scout uniform and said into the mic, I've been on a cocaine diet. She did look good.

  65. P.... L....

    this song gives you goose bumps

  66. M.... I....

    awesome singer and a great song linda is so beautiful

  67. J.... B....

    This song is one of the great examples of true country music, moving and alive, not the elevator music crap of most country stars today. It also helps to have great singer like linda belting it out.

    J.... B....

    Country lives on only through its history now because as far as I am concerned contemporary country is terrible for the most part.

    J.... B....

    This is as great as it gets.

    J.... B....

    @Wayne Johnson It''ll live on through me! I'm only 18 but dolly, linda, loretta, patsy, tammy, emmylou, those are my greatest influences! I don't play radio country crap

  68. J.... P....

    Linda's voice Rises over all your negative comments, enough said!

  69. W.... E....

    Peter (Sneaky Pete) Kleinow arranged and performed the pedal steel guitar on this number. He was one of the best session musicians and live performers available for hire anywhere in the world and he played a huge role in the broader popularization of county music by recording and touring with rock and roll artists and creating unapologetic crossover his like this one. They were a guilty pleasure for people like me who considered themselves too sophisticated in their tastes for country music until they were confronted with so much talent, technical competence and artistry they finally saw the light.

    W.... E....

    He was a Burrito Brother too

  70. c.... e....

    linda will always be gorgeous to me, I still get chills listening to her! Thanks ,Linda

  71. r.... s....

    Played this song on the juke box in every truck stop from florida to Colorado in 1975. Working for rocky ford van lines out midland Texas. Those were the days.

  72. R.... m....

    Linda at the peak of her powers

  73. t.... d....

    She did this song as well or better than Wanda, Skeeter or the Springfields.

  74. R.... W....

    I kinda like the original Wanda Jackson. But this was a foundational cover for Country Rock that's for sure.

  75. G.... G....

    che voce e che carica! America, Baby!!!

  76. J.... S....

    She went to my high school and grew up in my neighborhood. Of course we never met because she is 20 something years older. But, its cool to say I went to the same school here in Tucson. Catalina High. Home of the hardest partying teens in town. Or was.

  77. R.... B....

    At one time she was the sexiest woman on earth.

  78. M.... S....

    Love this song and who better to sing it( or just about anything ( that voice!)as always glad to add this to WKARMA RADIO.( LIKE US ON FACEBOOK, TO FIND WHO AND WHAT IS HAPPENING ) MAKE REQUESTS ECT.POST PHOTOS ( LOVE TO SEE MY SUBCRIBERS UNCENSORED ITS RADIO AS IT SHOULD BE@

  79. J.... G....

    Linda Ronstadt is the best!!!!

  80. L.... N....

    Excellent woman singer

  81. j.... s....

    who played fiddle on this song?

  82. j.... s....

  85. L.... E....

    Christal Chandalers

  86. R.... D....

    This woman's voice is 24K gold

    R.... D....

    Thanks for your service grunt. Rock of the Marne.

    R.... D....

    It's just too bad that being diagnosed with Parkinson's, her ability to sing is almost non existent anymore.

  87. F.... G....

    This song is so brilliant that just about anyone's going to sound great doing it.

    F.... G....

    Patty Loveless tried but she fell well short of Linda's cover. Linda's voice is so much smoother, more powerful and with more range than 99% of other female vocalists

    F.... G....

    like the Springfields version as well

  88. 7.... ....

    Ladies and gentlemen, Tucson's own LINDA RONSTADT!!

    7.... ....

    Mexican power

    7.... ....

    What a beautiful voice, Linda Ronstadt

    C.... M....

    Scott Wallace WHEN THE FUCK WAS ARIZONA MIDDLE AMERICA DUMB SHIT

    C.... M....

    Nikki Lane
