The version I found in the Ultimate Country Fake Book has an odd repeat with long 1st & 2d endings.
It looks like maybe someone left out part of the chorus -
From the top of the CHORUS:

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sor-row in the warm glow of your wine.
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide my-self in sorrow, while you play your cheatin' game
Silver Threads and Golden Needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sor-row in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
Silver Threads and Golden Needles Cannot mend this heart of mine.

The fake book version doesn't have the second verse - so you're one-up there.
Does this fit your tune better?
