Hand That Rocks the Cradle Lyrics

(by Ted Harris)
Glenn Campbell & Steve Wariner

He got here 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.

Chorus:
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearlsGlen Campbell - Hand That Rocks the Cradle - http://motolyrics.com/glen-campbell/hand-that-rocks-the-cradle-lyrics.html
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

Chorus:
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.
