Refrain
I kiss the hand, the wrinkled hand
That rocked my cradle in babyland
A mem’ry lingers of byegone years
When gentle fingers would dry my tears
Her face will ever be my guiding light
She’ll whisper tenderly “Turn to the right”
No harm can come to me by day or night
For the hand that rocked my cradle rules my heart
