Текст песни The Riddle Song (feat. Pete Seeger) - Joan Baez

(Traditional, arr. by J. Baez)
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
