"The Riddle" lyrics

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 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 story
That has no end
How can there be a baby
That has no cryin'

A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when it's pipping
It has no bone
The story of our love dear
It has no end
A baby when it's sleepin'
Has no cryin'

Goodbye and good night
