An old Irish fav from the late 1700"s

"The Riddle"

I gave my love a cherry that has no stone.
How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
A cherry when it's bloomin' it has no stone.

I gave my love a chicken that has no bone.
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
A chicken in an eggshell it has no bone.

I gave my love a ring that has no end.
How can there be a ring that has no end?
A ring when it is rollin' it has no end.

I gave my love a baby with no cryin'
How can there be a baby with no cryin'?
A baby when it's sleepin' has no cryin'.

The Americanized version of this:

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 story that has no end.
I gave my love a baby with 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'?

A chicken when it's pippin' it has no bone.
A cherry when it's bloomin' it has no stone.
The story of I love you it has no end.
A baby when it's sleepin' has no cryin'.
