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 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?
How can there be a story, that has no end?
And how can there be a baby with no crying?

Well, a cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone
And the story of I love you, it has no end
And a baby when it’s sleeping has no crying
Yes, a baby when it’s sleeping has no crying
