Burl Ives - Riddle Song

I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone
I told my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
With no crying.
How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when it's piping
It has no bone
The story that I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's no crying.
Burl Ives - Riddle Song      I gave my love a cherry   That had no stone   I gave my love a chicken   That had no bone   I told my love a story   That had no end   I gave my love a baby   With no crying.   How can there be a cherry   That has no stone?   And how can there be a chicken   That has no bone?   And how can there be a story   That has no end?   And how can there be a baby   With no crying?      A cherry when it's blooming   It has no stone   A chicken when it's piping   It has no bone   The story that I love you   It has no end   A baby when it's sleeping   It's no crying.
