I see young girls with old faces
I see good girls in bad places
I see plain girls in finery
And every one be the death of me
Needle and Thread, Needle and Thread
Hand me down my Needle and Thread
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Going to thread up my needle and then
Gonna sew my soul back together again
Now pretty Caitlin she went too far
Shaking all she had at the topless bar
Right in the face of Ben and Bob
Put a little too much into the job
Now sweet Myfanwe she took a shine
Dumped me for Dai worked down the mine
I was a temp, Dai was a keeper
He knew how to dig that little bit deeper
Now Bonnie Jean meant everything
But she threw back my hard-earned ring
Said she had other men who dig her
She was holding out for something bigger
(Richard Thompson) I see young girls with old faces I see good girls in bad places I see plain girls in finery And every one be the death of me Needle and Thread, Needle and Thread Hand me down my Needle and Thread Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Going to thread up my needle and then Gonna sew my soul back together again Now pretty Caitlin she went too far Shaking all she had at the topless bar Right in the face of Ben and Bob Put a little too much into the job Now sweet Myfanwe she took a shine Dumped me for Dai worked down the mine I was a temp, Dai was a keeper He knew how to dig that little bit deeper Now Bonnie Jean meant everything But she threw back my hard-earned ring Said she had other men who dig her She was holding out for something bigger Explain Request ×
