I gave my love a cherry without any core
I gave my love a dwelling without any door
I gave my love a palace wherein he might be
That he may a lock it without any key.
How can there be a cherry without any core?
How can there be a dwelling without any door?
How can there be a palace wherein he might be?
That he may a-lock it without any key.
My head is a cherry without any core
My mind is a dwelling without any door
My heart is a palace wherein he might be
That he may a lock it without any key.
