Played by the Grateful Dead from their first days in 1966 through to 1970, but then dropped from their repertoire. This is the version they sang:
I grew up in ragged gingham where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satins where it's just a passing game
I know you never loved me, oh I know I'm just a fool
To think your pride would let you live by the golden rule
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 ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
I don't want your lonely mansion, with a TV 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
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play your cheating game
