Exciting was brewing during the 1993 CMA awards when Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn teamed up for a special duet. It was then that the three country music female legends joined forces to create the album Honky Tonk Angels. The project was a long-rumored collaboration between the artists for over a decade. The trio performed the album's only release "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" during the 1993 CMA awards. The timeless performance lives on! Enjoy below.
“Silver Threads and Golden Needles” Lyrics
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I’ll never drown my sorrow
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
I don’t want your golden mansions
With a tear in every room
All I want’s the love you promised
Beneath the halo moon
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheatin’ game
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I’ll never drown my sorrow
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
