I gave my love a cherry that had no stone I gave my love a chicken that had no bone I gave my love a story that had no end I gave my love a baby that no cryin'
How can you have a cherry that has no stone? How can you have a chicken that has no bone? How can there be a story that has no end? How can there be a baby he'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 he's sleeping, he's no cryin'.
