The Riddle Song (Very Early Joan) — текст песни (Joan Baez)

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 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 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.
