my current fave song to sing to my little one

I have fallen in love with this song. It's so simple, yet so full of love...it's also easy to learn and remember -- a blessing for sleep deprived parents!

The Riddle Song

I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I told my love a story 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 story that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone
The story that I love you, it has no end
A baby when it's sleeping, has no crying

(You can listen to the tune here -- I like to sing it at a faster tempo than this video).
