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
