I Gave My Love a Cherry

I gave my love a cherry without a stone

I gave my love a chicken without a bone

I gave my love a ring without an end

I gave my love a baby with no cryin'.



--- Instrumental ---



How can there be a cherry without a stone

How can there be a chicken without a bone

How can there be a ring without an 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'...
