I [C] gave my love a [F] cherry, that had no [C] stone
I [G] gave my love a [C] chicken, that had no [G] bone
I [G] told my love a [C] story that had no [G] end

I [Am] gave my love a [F] baby with [G] no cry- [C] -ing.

How [C] can there be a [F] cherry that has no [C] stone?
And how [G] can there be a [C] chicken that has no [G] bone?
And how [G] can there be a [C] story that has no [G] end?
And how [Am] can there be a [F] baby with [G] no cry- [C] -ing?

A [C] cherry when it’s [F] blooming, it has no [C] stone
A [G] chicken when it’s [C] piping, it has no [G] bone
The [G] story that I [C] love you, it has no [G] end
A [Am] baby when it’s [F] sleeping, it’s [G] not cry- [C] -ing.

I [C] gave my love a [F] cherry, that had no [C] stone

I [G] told my love a [C] story that had no [G] end
I [Am] gave my love a [F] baby with [G] no cry- [C] -ing.
