I gave my love a cherry that has 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 with no cryen.
|
|
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 cryen?
|
|
A cherry, when it's blooming, it has no stone,
|
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone,
|
A ring when it's rolling, it has no end,
|
A baby when it's sleeping, has no cryen.
