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
