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.
