Lyrics for Riddle Song

I gave my love a cherry that had no stone Gave my love a chicken that had no bone I gave my love a baby with no crying And told my love a story that had no end 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 baby with no crying? How can you tell a story that has no end? A cherry when it's blooming it has no stone And a chicken when it's pippin' there is no bone A baby when it's sleeping there's no crying And when I say I love you it has no end I gave my love a cherry that had no stone I gave my love a chicken that has no bone I gave my love a baby with no crying And told my love a story that had no end
