Glen Campbell The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Lyrics

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Lyrics

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 coxer 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
