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

A baby when it's sleeping, there's no crying,

And when I say I love you, it has no end.
