I gave my love a cherry that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone
I gave my love a ring that has no end
I gave my love a baby that's no crying

How can there be a cherry ...
How can there be a chicken ...
How can there a ring ...
How can there be a baby ...

A cherry when it's blooming it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin' it has no bone
A ring when it's rolling it has no end
A baby when it's sleeping there's no crying.
