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'
