Silver Threads & Golden Needles
(As recorded by the Cowsills on MGM Records.
Lead sung by John Cowsill.)
I don’t want your lovely mansion
With a tear in ev’ry room,
All I want’s the love you promised
Beneath the silvery moon.
But you think I could be happy
With your money and your name,
Just to hide my head in sorrow,
While you play your cheatin’ game.
(CHORUS)
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine.
But you think I could be happy
With your money and your name,
Just to hide my head in sorrow,
While you play your cheatin’ game.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
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.

Love, American Style
(As recorded by the Cowsills on MGM Records.
Lead sung by Bob & Paul Cowsill.)
(CHORUS)
Love American style,
Truer than the red, white and blue.
Love American style,
That’s me and you.
And in this land of hopes and dreams, my love,
All that I hope for ‘tis of thee.
Love American style,
Freer than the land of the free,
Love American style,
That’s you and me.
And on a star-spangled night, my love,
You can rest your head on my shoulder,
While by the dawn’s early light, my love,
I will defend your right to try.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
