Artist/Band: Burl Ives
Lyrics for Song: The riddle song
Lyrics for Album: Jesse James [2011]



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 in the shell

It has no bone

The story of how I love you

It has no end

A baby when it's sleeping

It's not crying.
