Ain't That Good News
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 ring that had no end
 I gave my love a baby with no cryin'


 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
 How can there be a baby with no cryin'


 A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone
 A chicken when it's pippin' ain't got no bone
 A ring when it's rollin', it has no end
 And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'


 A baby when it's sleepin'
 There's no cryin'
