| 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' |
