The Riddle Song Songtext
von Pete Seeger

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 story that has no end
And I gave my love a baby that′s 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 that's no crying?

A cherry when it′s blooming it has no stone
A chicken when it's picking it has no bone
And a story that I love you it has no end
And a baby when it's sleeping is no crying
