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
