I Gave My Love a Cherry

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 cryin'
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 with no cryin'
A cherry when it's blooming has no stone a chicken when it's pipping has no bone
The story of I love you has no end a baby when it's sleeping has no cryin'
A baby when it's sleeping has no cryin'
