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 baby with no crying And told my love a story that had no end 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 baby with no crying How can there be a story that has no end A cherry when it's blooming it has no stone A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone A baby when it's sleeping has no crying And when I say I love you, it has no end 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 baby with no crying And told my love a story that had no end
