I gave my love a cherry
that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken
that has no bone
I gave my love a story
that has no end
And I gave my love a baby
that's no cryin'
How can there be a cherry
that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken
that has no bone?
How can there be a story
that has no end?
How can there be a baby
that's no cryin'?
A cherry when it's bloomin'
it has no stone
A chicken when it's pickin'
it has no bone
And a story that I love you
it has no end
And a baby when it's sleeping
is no cryin'
