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 ring 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 ring that has no 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´ ain´t got no bone A ring when it´s rollin´, it has no end And oh, a baby when it´s sleepin´, there´s no cryin´
