Never gonna kiss those ruby red lips
Of the sweetest girl in town.
I`m never gonna ask her if she`ll marry me
`Cause I know she`ll turn me down.
Because I`m just a country boy
And money have I none
Oh, 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
