[Verse 1]
C F C
I gave my love a cherry that had no stone;
G7 C G
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone;
G7 C G
I gave my love a baby with no crying,
Am F C
And told my love a story that had no end.
[Verse 2]
C F C
How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
G7 C G
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
G7 C G
How can there be a baby with no crying?
Am F C
How can you tell a story that has no end?

[Verse 3]
C F C
A cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone;
G7 C G
And a chicken when it's pipping, there is no bone;
G7 C G7
A baby when it's sleeping, there's no crying,
Am F C
And when I say I love you, it has no end.

I gave my love a baby with no crying,
Am F C
And told my love a story that had no end.
