| Lyrics: | THE RIDDLE SONG
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 ring that has no end,
I gave my love a baby with no
cryen.
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
cryen?
A cherry, when it's blooming, it has no stone,
A chicken when it's pipping,
it has no bone,
A ring when it's rolling, it has no end,
A baby when it's sleeping, has no
cryen.
