Sam Cooke - Swing Low

I'm Just a Country Boy

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
Oh, 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
Oh, but I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
I have gold in the morning sun

I never could afford a starboard ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford was a loving heart
The only one I own

'Cause I'm just a country boy
Money, have I none
Oh, but I've got silver in the stars
I've got gold in the morning sun
I have gold in the morning sun
