Cherry Ripe.

Chorus.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe, I cry;
Full and fair ones come and buy.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe, I cry;
Full and fair ones come and buy.

​
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer there,
Where the sunbeams sweetly smile.
There's the land or cherry isle.
  Cherry ripe, &c.

Where the sunbeams sweetly smile,
There's the land or cherry isle.
There plantations fully shew
All the year where cherries grow.

 Cherry ripe, ripe, cherry ripe, I cry;
 Full and fair ones come and buy,
 Full and fair ones come and buy.
