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
