Lyrics for 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', ain't got 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'
