Baez, Joan - The Riddle Song Lyrics
I gave my love a cherry that has no stone,
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone,
I gave my love a ring that has no end,
I gave my love a baby with no cryen.
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a ring that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no cryen?
A cherry, when it's blooming, it has no stone,
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone,
A ring when it's rolling, it has no end,
A baby when it's sleeping, has no cryen.

Baez, Joan The Riddle Song Comments
Wonderful singing. I sang this in a duet 45 years ago in a fraternity serenade...with me on vs. 1 and 3 and the alto voice for vs. 2. It was such a sweet time. That woman went on to be a wellknown opera singer. I got well-known for shower songs and occasional other stuff. Alma College days, 1965-69
A story that has no end will last until The Twelfth of Never :)
That's a long, long time~

Joan Baez, what a voice
The melody is identical to that of the 1950's song "The Twelfth
of Never."
According to Wikipedia,the song dates back to 15th.century

Her voice is perfect for this song!
