Sam Cooke - The Riddle Song lyrics

rate me

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 ring that had 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 ring that has no end?

How can there be a baby with no cryin'?

A cherry when it's bloomin', ain't got no stone

A chicken when it's pippin', ain't got no bone

A ring when it's rollin', it has no end

And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'

A baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'
