The Riddle Song

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'
