He got here red and wrinkled, scared [G] and crying.
[D] Then she took him up and held him to [A] her breast.
[D] And he sure was glad [Am] to [D] get what [G] Mama offered.
[D] Then he went to sleep [A] and put his fears [D] to [A] [D] rest.
It didn't seem to matter [G] what he needed.
[D] He could always count on Mama to [A] supply.
[B] [A]
[D] And regardless [Am] of the [D] sleep she [G] might be losing,
[D] He always found [A] a twinkle in [D] her eye.
[G] There ought to [A] be a hall of [D] fame for Mama,
[G] Creation's [A] most unique and [D] precious pearl.
[G] And Heaven [A] help us always [D] to [G] remember
That [Em] the hand that [A] rocks the cradle [D] rules the world.
She taught him all the attributes [G] of greatness
That [D] she knew he couldn't learn away [A] from home.
And [D] by the time she wore [Am] the cover [D] of [G] her Bible,
[D] Her hair was gray [A] and her little man [D] was gone.
There [G] ought to be [A] a hall of fame [D] for Mama,
[G] Creation's most [A] unique and precious [D] pearl.
[G] And Heaven [A] help us always to [D] [G] remember
That [Em] the hand that [A] rocks the cradle [D] rules the world.
[G] Yes, the hand that [A] rocks the cradle [D] rules the world.
