you're just a country boy

ain't gonna marry in the fall

ain't gonna marry in the spring

for you're in love

with a pretty little girl

who wears a diamond ring

you're just a country boy

money have you none

but you've got silver

in the stars

gold in the morning sun

gold in the morning sun

never gonna kiss the ruby red lips

of the prettiest girl in town

never gonna ask her if she'll marry you

she'd only turn you down

you're just a country boy

money have you none

but you've got silver

in the stars

gold in the morning sun

gold in the morning sun

never could afford a store bought ring

with a sparklin' diamond stone

all you could afford is a loving heart

the only one you own

you're just a country boy

money have you none

but you've got silver

in the stars

gold in the morning sun

gold in the morning sun
