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 Got no cryin' 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 How can there be a baby With no cryin' Well, a cherry when it's blooming It has no stone A chicken when it's pippin' It has no bone The story of I love you It has no end A baby when it's sleeping Has no crying Hush little baby Hush little baby Hush little baby Don't you cry
