This old English lullaby, also known as "The Riddle Song," is from the album "JOAN BAEZ in San Francisco" which was recorded when she was 17years old. It's a clumsy recording with uneven volume, yet her rendition of the song is the most beautiful and haunting version you'll ever hear. Anyone who wants to know more about Joan Baez should read her candid 1987 autobiography titled, "And A Voice To Sing With."
I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
Told my love a story that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'
How can you have a cherry that has no stone
How can you have a chicken without no bone
How can there be a story that has no end
How can there be a baby with no cryin'?
A cherry when it's bloomin' it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin it has no bone
A story of my love it has no end
Oh baby when he's sleeping, there's no cryin'
