Lyrics: I ain't gonna marry in the fall I ain't gonna marry in the spring For I'm in love with a pretty little girl Who wears a diamond ring, And I'm just a country boy, Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the morning sun, And gold in the morning sun I'm never gonna kiss the ruby lips of the prettiest girl in town I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me For I know she'd turn me down 'Cause I'm just a country boy, Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the morning sun, And gold in the morning sun I never could afford a store bought ring With a sparkling diamond stone All I could afford was a loving heart The only one I own I'm just a country boy, Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the morning sun, And gold in the morning sun |
