Hi, My mom used to sing this to me too. That was so long ago. Now I sing it to my kids. I sing it like this...

   I love you, a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck, a hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap, a barrel and a heap, and I'm talkin' in my sleep about you.
   I love you, a bushel and peck, a bushel and peck, and it beats me all to heck, it beats me all to heck, and I'll never tend the farm, never tend the farm, when I wanna keep my arm, about you, about you
