My mocking flew…my mocking bird flew out the window
My adlvice died… my adelvice died on the vine
You say that I… you say that I should concentrate on
How my life…how my life turned out just fine
But mama what can I do with this cradle I keep hanging on
When all I wanna do is rock
and hear your sweet
All I wanna do is rock
and hear your sweet
All I wanna do is rock and hear your sweet song oh, ohhh
Oh why do I… oh why do I want my arms around you
When you won’t… when you won’t even let me close
I guess I’ll take all you can give me
It’s better than livin with a ghost
But mama what can I do with this cradle I keep hanging on
When all I wanna do is rock
and hear your sweet
Rock me like ya used to do, rock me and let me know
Rock me, I’m still lovin you, mama
Rock me like you really care, rock me, can’t let you go
Rock me, I’m still lovin you, mama
Oh I feel… Oh I feel brighter than the darkness
Oh I feel… Oh I feel many shades of grey
I am thinkin tomorrow will come
I’m leavin as I stay
But mama what can I do with this cradle I keep hanging on
When all I wanna do is rock and hear your sweet song
Mama….Rock me like you used to do
