Lyrics:

I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone

I told my love a story
That had no end

I gave my love a baby
With no crying

How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
How can there be a chicken
That has no bone?

Whoever heard a story
That has no end?

How can there be a baby
With no crying?

Well a cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
And a chicken when it's pippin'
It has no bone

The story of I love you
It has no end

And a baby when it's sleeping

It's no crying
