Riddle Song Songtext
von Burl Ives

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 it's piping
It has no bone
The story that I love you
It has no end
A baby when it′s sleeping
It's no crying.
