Artist/Band: Burl Ives
Lyrics for Song: Riddle Song
Lyrics for Album: 51 Great Performances [2006]



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.
