Child #46
(Modern Version -
from my childhood memory)
I gave my love a cherry that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone
I gave my love a ring that has no end
(alt: a story that has 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 chicken that has no bone
How can there be a ring that has no end
(alt: a story that has no end)
How can there be a baby with no crying
A cherry when it's blooming it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin it has no bone
A ring when it's rolling it has no end
(alt: The story of our love, it has no end)
A baby when it's sleeping is no crying
