The Riddle Song
Tom Paxton
I gave my love a cherry that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone
I gave my love a story that has no end
And I gave my love a baby that's 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 story that has no end?
How can there be a baby that's no cryin'?
A cherry when it's bloomin'
It has no stone
A chicken when it's pickin' it has no bone
And a story that I love you it has no end
And a baby when it's sleeping is no cryin'
