I Gave My Love a Cherry

Traditional, recorded on Grapevine

I gave my love a cherry, that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I told me love a story that had no end
I gave my love a baby, with no cryin'

How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be chicken, that has no bone?
How can there be a story that has no end?
How can there be a baby, with no cryin?

A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin', it has no bone
The story of true love, has no end,
A baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'.

alternate lines:

A cherry in the blossom, it has no stone

The story of "I love you," it has no end
A ring when it's rollin' it has no end
