The Riddle

I gave my love a cherry
That has no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That has no bone
I told my love a story
That has no end
I gave my love a baby
With no crying
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 story
That has no end
How can there be a baby
With no crying
A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin'
It has no bone
The story of our love dear
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
Has no crying
A baby when it's sleeping
Has no crying
Lullaby and goodnight
