I'm Just A Country Boy

The Brothers Four

(Fred Brooks and Marshall Barer)

I ain't gonna marry in the fall

I ain't gonna marry in the spring

For 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 the morning sun,

And gold in the morning sun.

I'm never gonna kiss the ruby lips

Of the prettiest girl in town

I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me

For 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 morning sun,

And gold in the morning sun.

I never could afford a store bought ring

With a sparkling diamond stone

All I could afford was a loving heart

The only one I own.

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...
