These tabs are based loosely off Joan Baez's version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhDaNcBqD9o).
It is played in 6/8 time, but it's pretty much guesswork figuring out where the words go 
in each measure.

   with     no            crying.


Verse 2:
How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
How can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?


Verse 3:
A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when it's pipping
It has no bone
The story that I love you
It has no end
A baby when he's sleeping
Is no crying
A baby when he's sleeping
Is no crying
