The Riddle Song (Songs For Little Pickers) lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 baby with no crying
And told my love a story that has no end

[Verse 2]
Hon can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a baby with no crying?
How can you tell a story that has no end?

[Verse 3]
A cherry when it's blooming has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin there is no bone
A little baby sleeping has no crying
And when I say "I love you" it has no end
