I Gave My Love A Cherry

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 ring that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'

How can there be a cherry without any 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 cryin'

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 cryin'

I gave my love a baby with no cryin'
