[Verse 1]
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
I said, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I thread up my needle and then
I'm gonna sew my soul back together again

[Verse 2]
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]
Needle and thread, needle and thread
Hand me down my needle and thread
I said, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I thread up my needle and then
I'm gonna sew my soul back together again
[Verse 3]
Now sweet Myfanwe she took a shine
But she dumped me for Dai worked down the mine
Said I was a temp, Dai was a keeper
He knew how to dig that little bit deeper

[Chorus]
Needle and thread, needle and thread
Hand me down my needle and thread
I said, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I thread up my needle and then
I'm gonna sew my soul back together again

[Verse 4]
Now Bonnie Jean she 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]
Needle and thread, needle and thread
Hand me down my needle and thread
I said, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I thread up my needle and then
I'm gonna sew my soul back together again
Oh I thread up my needle and then
I'm gonna sew my soul back together again
