[D]
He [A] [D]
got here red and wrinkled, scared [G] and crying.
Then [D] she took him up and held him to her [A]
breast.
[D] And he sure was glad [Am] to get [D] what [G] Mama offered.
[D] Then he went to sleep [A] and put his spears [D] to [A]
rest.
[D] It didn't seem to matter what [G] he needed.
He [D] could always count on Mama to [A] [B] supply.
[A] And [D] regardless of [Am] the sleep [D] she might [G] 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 remember
[G] 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] [G] of her Bible,
[D] Her hair was gray [A] and her little man [D] was gone.
[G] There ought to [A] be a hall of [D] fame for Mama,
[G]
Creation's [A] most unique and precious [D]
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.
[G] Yes, the hand that [A] rocks the cradle [D] rules the world.
