I gave my love a cherry which had no stone
I gave my love a chicken which had no bone
I gave my love a story which had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin`
How can there be a cherry which has no stone?
How can there be a chicken which has no bone?
How can there be a story which has no end?
How can there be a baby she`s no cryin`?
A cherry when it`s blooming, it has no stone
A chicken when it`s pippin, it has no bone
The story that I love you, it has no end
A baby when she`s sleeping, she`s no cryin`.
