the riddle song

i gave my love a cherry that had no stone, 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'
