Question about a song


What was the name of the song that the counselor was singing around the campfire? It might have been Kum-by-Yah but I thought he sang another song after that that was even prettier but I don't remember what it was called or anything.

Thank you! I had a feeling it was the 12th of Never but I wasn't sure!

Nope, it wasn't. It was this song:

I GAVE MY LOVE A CHERRY aka THE RIDDLE SONG
(Traditional Appalachian version)


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?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when in the shell
It has no bone
The story of how I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's no crying.
