VERSE 1
I give my love a cherry
Without no stone
I give my love a chicken
Without no bone
I give my love a baby
With no cryin'
I told my love a story
That has no end

VERSE 2
How can there be a cherry
Without a stone
How can there be a chicken
Without no bone
How can there be a baby
With no cryin'
How can thre be a story
That has no end

VERSE 3
When a cherry is a blossom
H'it has no stone
When a chicken is a pippin'
It has no bone
When a baby is a sleepin'
There's no cryin'
When I tell you that I love you
It has no end
