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'
|
|
A baby when it's sleepin'
|
There's no cryin'
|
