The Riddle Song (feat. Pete Seeger) lyrics

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.
