LT 39 The Riddle Song 
                             Child #46
                             (Modern Version -
                             from my childhood memory)


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 
(alt: a story that has 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
How can there be a ring that has no end 
(alt: a story that has no end) 
How can there be a baby with no crying

A cherry when it's blooming it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin it has no bone
A ring when it's rolling it has no end 
(alt: The story of our love, it has no end)
A baby when it's sleeping is no crying
