Gold & Silver
George Jones · She Thinks I Still Care: The George Jones Collecti [1997]
(Shirley Legate)
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
Don't have a gold mine or a mansion
Haven't even got you a finger ring
Deep in my heart there's a little secret now
I'm gonna share it with you.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
They can have the gold in Fort Knox Kentucky
As far as we're gonna stand on love
I knew a man once had lots of money
Cried every night for love.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
I'd rather have a sweet girl's love
than to hold a rich man's gold
Don't have a penny in our pockets
I know we're gonna live on love.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love...
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
Don't have a gold mine or a mansion
Haven't even got you a finger ring
Deep in my heart there's a little secret now
I'm gonna share it with you.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
They can have the gold in Fort Knox Kentucky
As far as we're gonna stand on love
I knew a man once had lots of money
Cried every night for love.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
I'd rather have a sweet girl's love
than to hold a rich man's gold
Don't have a penny in our pockets
I know we're gonna live on love.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love...
Gold & Silver
