Riddle Song


I Gave My Love A Cherry.  This is an English Folk Song.

Verse 1 This is the riddle that you have to try and solve!  Try and solve if before you listen to the song.

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 that's no cryin'


Keep in mind that folk songs lyrics change.  There are similar versions of this same song and often the lyrics change slightly from version to version, while the main message stays intact. 




(hint: a chick that's pippin' is one that is hatching)
