I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone.
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone.
I told my love a story
That had no end.
I gave my love a baby
With no cryin'.
How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no cryin'?
A cherry when it's bloomin'
It has no stone.
A chicken when it's pippin'
It has no bone.
The story of I love you
It has no end.
A baby when it's sleeping
It's not cryin'.
I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone.
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone.
I told my love a story
That had no end.
I gave my love a baby
With no cryin'.
