I gave my love a cherry that had no stone.

I gave my love a ring that had no end.
I gave my love a baby with no crying.
How can there be a cherry that has no stone?

How can there be a ring that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no crying?
A cherry when it's bloomin', has no stone.

A ring when it's rollin', it has no end.
A baby when it's sleeping, has no crying.
