I ain't gonna marry in the fall
I ain't gonna marry in the spring
aˆ?Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring

'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

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

Never could afford a store bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford is a lovin' heart
The only one I own
