VERSE 1
I gave my love a cherry, that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken, that has no bone
I gave my love a ring, that has no end
I gave my love a baby, that's no cryin'
VERSE 2
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 ring, that has no end
How can there be a baby, with no cryin'?
VERSE 3
A cherry, when it's bloomin', it has no stone
A chicken, when it's pippin', it has no bone
A ring, when it's rollin', it has no end
A baby, when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'
