Sam Cooke - The riddle song текст песни

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 crying

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 crying

A cherry when it's blooming ain't got no stone
A chicken when it's pipping ain't got no bone
A ring when it's woven ain't got no end
A baby when it's sleeping, there's no crying
