[Am] Oh, Ron!
[D] I want to thank Steve [A] Warner for singing this [D] with me.
He got here red and wrinkled, scared [G] and crying.
Didn't we all?
[D] Then she took him up and held him to [A] her breast.
[D] And he sure was glad [Am] to get [D] what [G] Marlowe offered.
Then [D] he went to sleep [A] and put his fears [D] to rest.
It didn't seem to matter [G] what he needed.
[D] He could always count on Mama to [A] supply.
[Bm] [E] [D] And regardless of [Am] the sleep [D] she might [G] be losing,
[D] He always found [A] a twinkle in [D] her eye.
Let's sing, come on!
[G] There ought to be [A] a hall of fame [D] for Mama,
[G] Creation's most [A] unique and precious [D] pearl.
[G] And heaven help [A] us always [D] to remember
[G]
[D] That [Em] the hand that rods [A] the cradle rules [D] the world.
She taught him all the attributes [G] of greatness,
[D] That she knew he couldn't learn away from [A] home.
And [D] by the time she wore [Am] the [D] cover [G] of her Bible,
Her [D] hair was gray [A] and her little man [D] was grown.
[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
[Em] That the hand that [A] rods the cradle rules [D] the world.
[G] Yes, the hand that rods [A] the cradle [D] rules the world.
