\u201cI Gave My Love A Cherry\u201d (aka. \u201cThe Riddle\u201d or in our house, \u201cThe Cherry Song\u201d)<\/p>\n

I gave my love a cherry that has no stone;
\nI gave my love a chicken that has no bone;
\nI gave my love a ring that has no end;
\nI gave my love a baby with no cryin\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
\nHow can there be a chicken that has no bone?
\nHow can there be a ring that has no end?
\nHow can there be a baby with no cryin\u2019?<\/em><\/p>\n

A cherry when it\u2019s bloomin\u2019 it has no stone;
\na chicken when it\u2019s pippin\u2019 it has no bone;
\na ring when its rollin\u2019 it has no end;
\na baby when he\u2019s sleepin\u2019 has no cryin\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
