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 cry-en.
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 that's no cry-en?
A cherry when it's bloomin',it has no stone;
A chicken when it's pippin', it has no bone;
A ring when it's rollin', it has no end;
A baby when it's sleepin', it's no cry-en.
