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 crying

How can there be a cherry that has no stone

How can there be a chicken that has no bone

Who ever heard a story has no end

How can there be a baby with no crying

Well a cherry when it's blooming it has no stone

A chicken when it's pipping it has no bone

A story I love you will never end

Oh a baby when it's sleeping there's no crying
