THE RIDDLE SONG 6 6 6 6 6 -6 7 -8 7 -6 6 I gave my love a cher-ry with-out a stone. 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 8 9 -10 9 8 -8 I gave my love a chick-en with-out a bone. 8 -8 -8 -8 7 8 9 -10 9 8 -8 I gave my love a ring that has no end. 8 -8 7 -6 6 -6 7 -8 7 -6 6 I gave my love a ba-by with no cry-in. How can there be a cherry without a stone? How can there be a chicken without a bone? How can there be a ring that has no end? How can there be a baby with no cryin? A cherry when its blooming, it has no stone. A chicken when its pippin it has no bone. A ring when its a-rollin it has no end. A baby when its sleepin theres no cryin.
