Never gonna kiss those ruby red lips
Of the sweetest girl in town
Never gonna ask her if she'll marry me
Cause i know she'll turn me down

Cause i'm just a country boy and money have i none
But i've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun

Never could afford no store-bought ring
With a sparkly diamond stone.
All i have to offer is a love that's true,
It's the only one i own.

And i'm just a country boy
And money, money have i none.
Oh, but i've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun.

Ain't gonna marry in the fall,
Never gonna marry in the spring
'cause i am in love with a pretty little girl
That wears a diamond ring.

And i'm, i'm just a country boy
And money, money have i none.
Oh, but i've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
