Needle And Thread Tab

Needle and Thread 


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

Chorus:

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

      (3X) 

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

Chorus

Now sweet Myfanwy 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

Chorus

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 

Chorus
