Lyrics
I gave my love a cherry that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I gave my love a ring that has no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryn'
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 cryn'
A cherry, when its blooming, it has no stone.
A chicken when its pipping, it has no bone.
A ring when its rolling, it has no end.
A baby when its sleepin' has no cryn'
I gave my love a baby.
