Текст Burl Ives – Riddle Song

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 ring that has no end
I gave my love a baby that’s no crying

How can there be a cherry without has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken without has no bone?
And how can there be a ring 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
A ring when it’s rollin’ it has no end
A baby when it’s sleeping there’s no crying
