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 that's no cryin How can there be a cherry without no stone? How can there be a chicken without no bone? How can there be a ring without no end? How can there be a baby with no cryin'? A cherry when it's bloomin' it has no stone And a chicken when it's pippin' it has no bone And a ring when it's rollin' it has no end And a baby when it's sleepin' is no cryin'
