This was a song that I would sing whilst at School....over 50 years ago..and goes on... "My heart is a Palace without e`er a door....and she may unlock it without a key "...I can`t find all the words and I would love to sing it to my Wife

Yes... I think you have found it for me...yipee yahoo ....I love you....The song I would sing was about an apple ...but simliar words....do you know where i can buy/get the music to it? thankyou so much

Answer 1

There's several versions of the song...originally it was "I gave my love a cherry"

I think it was originally titled "Riddlesong". Eddie Arnold sang it.

Addition: You may want to see if you can find the Eddie Arnold version...and I think one of the folk groups in the 60s sang it. I want to say Kingston Trio, but I don't remember...that time is such a blur..... Anyway, Eddie Arnold has such a wonderful voice...I'd start with his and see if you can find them.

Answer 2

Are you thinking of "The Riddle Song?" I gave my love a cherry without no stone..."
