I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
And I gave my love a story that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no crying
Uh, mom?
How can there be a cherry that has no stone? (Yeah, and Lucy)
How can there be a chicken, that has no bone? (But, mom)
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 bloomin', Lucy, it has no stone
Well, you see, mom
A chicken, well, when it's pippin', it has no bone
And the story of I love you, it has no end
And a baby when it's sleepin', has no cryin'
Yes, a baby when it's sleepin', has no cryin'
