Fred Hellerman (pseudonym: Fred Brooks), Marshall Baker
I ain't gonna marry in the fall
I ain't gonna marry in the spring
Well, I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring
And I'm just a country boy
And money, money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And I've got gold in the morning sun
And I've got gold in the morning sun
Never gonna kiss the ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me
Because I know she'd turn me down
And I'm just a country boy
And money, money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And I've got gold in the morning sun
And I've got gold in the morning sun
I 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
For I'm just a country boy
And money, money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And I've got gold in the morning sun
And I've got gold in the morning sun
