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'
