Peggy Lee - Sea Shells

The Riddle Song

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?
How can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
Whoever heard a story
That has no end?
How can there be a baby
With no crying?

Well a cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
And a chicken when it's pippin'
It has no bone
The story of I love you
It has no end
And a baby when it's sleeping
It's no crying
