(Marshall Barer, Fred Hellerman)

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
Gold in the mornin´ sun
Gold in the mornin´ 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
Money have I none
But I´ve got silver in the stars
And gold in the mornin´ sun
Gold in the mornin´ sun.

I never could afford
A store bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford
Is a loving heart
The only one I own.

'Cause I´m just a country boy
Money have I none
But I´ve got silver in the stars
And gold in the mornin´ sun
Gold in the mornin´ sun...
