I Gave My Love a Cherry (The Riddle Song) Songtext
von Laurie Berkner

I gave my love, a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love, a chicken that had no bone
And I gave my love a story that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin′ (uh, mum?)


How can there be a cherry that has no stone? (Yeah, Lucy)
How can there be a chicken that has no bone? (But mom)
How can there be a story that has no end?
And how can there be a baby with no cryin'?

Well, a cherry when it′s bloomin', Lucy, it has no stone (well, you see mom)
A chicken, well, when it's pippin′, it has no bone
And the story of I love you, it has no end
And a baby when it′s sleepin' (has no cryin′)
Yes, a baby when it's sleepin′ (has no cryin')
