Carly Simon - Into White

I Gave My Love a Cherry (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 story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
Got 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 story
That has no end?
How can there be a baby
With no cryin'?

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

Hush, little baby
Hush, little baby
Hush, little baby
Don't you cry
