The Hand That Rocked His Cradle 

W/B Patty Booker              

His Momma did what she knew how to raise her boy up right

But he grew up with a heart of stone and lookin’ for a fight

She stayed up nights to hold him To rock his pain away

Ah but nothing could console him it hurt her more each day


Well his teacher told his Momma that little boy needs help

But his Daddy wouldn’t hear of it he said they’ve always helped themselves

So his father took the strap in hand to teach the boy what’s right

And his Momma did what she knew how and rocked him late at night


Now the Hand that rocked his cradle had to lock him out tonight

Cause ever her undieing love just couldn’t make it  right

Oh and nothing can compare to the pain their feelin’ now

Cause the hand that rocked his cradle is the hand that locked him out


Now everyday his Momma prays someday to understand

Why she couldn’t save him from his own destructive hand

She’s been trying to protect him from the life he  leads

Oh wash away his blood while her own heart bleeds


Now the hand that rocked his cradle had to lock him out tonight

Cause even her undieing love just couldn’t make it right

Oh and nothing can compare to the pain their feelin’ now                                                                                                                                                                           

Cause the hand that rocked his cradle is the hand that locked him out
