I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I told my love a story that has no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'
(I gave my love a baby with no cryin')
Who ever seen a cherry without no stone?
Who ever seen a chicken without no bone?
Who ever heard a story without no end?
Who ever seen a baby with no cryin'?
A cherry when it's blooming, ain't got no stone
A chicken when it's pippin, ain't got no bone
And the story of my true love ain't got no end
And a baby when it's sleeping has no cryin'
(A baby when it's sleeping has no cryin')
Yes, a baby when it's sleeping has no cryin'
