Traditional 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 baby with no cryin'. And I told my love a story that has no end. How can there be a cherry that has no stone? How cab ther be a chicken that has no bone? How can there be a baby with no cryin'? How can you tell a story that has no end? A cherry when it's bloomin, there ain't no stone A chicken when it's pipping, there ain't no bone. And when a baby's sleeping, there's no crying. And when I say I love you, there ain't no end.
