I gave my love a cherry that has no stone I gave my love a chicken that has no bone I gave my love a story that has no end and I gave my love a baby that's no crying How can there be a cherry that has no stone? How can there be a chicken that has no bone? How can there be a story that has no end? How can there be a baby that's no crying? A cherry when it's blooming it has no stone A chicken when it's pipping it has no bone and a story that I love you it has no end and a baby when it's sleeping he's no crying
