Thread Name: Origins: riddle song (I Gave My Love a Cherry)
Subject: RE: riddle song
You're all being stupid. Here are the Lyrics:
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 read that has no end. I gave my love a baby that's no cryen.
The answers: A cherry when it's bloomen, it has no stone. A chicken when it's pippen, it has no bone. A read when its readen, it has no end. A baby when its sleepen, its no cryen.
A cherry on a cherry tree has no stone. An unborn chicken has no bone. When you're reading a story, it has no end. A sleeping baby doesn't cry.
