~ I Gave My Love a Cherry ~

I gave my love a cherry without a stone;
I gave my love a chicken without a bone;
I gave my love a story without an end;
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'.

How can there be a cherry without a stone?
How can there be a chicken without a bone?
How can there be a story without an end?
How can there be a baby with no cryin'?

A cherry when it's bloomin' it has no stone.
A chicken when it's pippin' it has no bone.
The story that I love you, it has no end.
A baby when it's sleeping has no cryin'.
