I ain't gonna marry in the fall I ain't gonna marry in the spring

Cause 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 morning sun gold in morning sun

Never gonna kiss the ruby red lips of the prettiest girl in town

Never gonna ask her if she'd marry me I know she'd turn me down

Cause I'm just a country boy...

Never could afford a store bought ring with the sparkling diamond stone

All I could afford is a loving heart the only one I own

Cause I'm just a country boy...
