The Riddle Song

I gave my love a chicken that had no bone I gave my love a ring that had no end I gave my love a baby with no cryin' 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 cryin' A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone A chicken when it's pippin' ain't got no bone A ring when it's rollin', it has no end And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin' A baby when it's sleepin' There's no cryin' --- The Riddle Song - Sam Cooke
