Campbell, Glen - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Lyrics






He got here red and wrinkled scared and cryin'
Then she took him up and held him to her breast
And he sure was glad to get what mama offered
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest

It didn't seem to matter what he needed
He could always count on mama to supply
And regardless of the sleep she might be losin'
He always found a twinkle in her eye

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

She taught him all the attributes of greatness
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
And by the time she wore the cover off her bible
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
Yes, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

    He got here and wrinkled scared and cryin'
    The she took him up and held him to her breast
    And he sure was glad to get what mama offered
    Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest

    It didn't seem to matter what he needed
    He could always count on mama to supply
    And regardless of the sleep she might be losin'
    He always found a twinkle in her eye

    There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
    Creation's most unique and precious pearls
    And heaven help us always to remember
    That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

    She taught him all the attributes of greatness
    That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
    And by the time she wore the cover off her bible

    Creation's most unique and precious pearls
    And heaven help us always to remember
    That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

    Great song. There isn't enough songs sung about mother's. This song about how mother's use to be before the people in the world changed history. The devil 😈 behind keeping both parents out s away from their children that's why kids of today is raising themselves.mothers should take time out for their children take them to church a teach them right because the parents are the role models. Not TV games a phones. It's the little things that we do that counts that show love w action not material things of the world.

    True song of a good true a devoted mother. Elvis Presley would loved this song because he thought there was nobody like his mom
