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
