Grandma's Hands Lyrics

Grandma's hands 

Clapped in church on Sunday morning 

Grandma's hands 

Played a tambourine so well 

Grandma's hands 

Used to issue out a warning 

She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast 

Might fall on a piece of glass 

"Might be snakes there in that grass" 

Grandma's hands 

Grandma's hands 

Soothed a local unwed mother 

Grandma's hands 

Used to ache sometimes and swell 

Grandma's hands 

Used to lift her face and tell her, 

"Baby, Grandma understands 

That you really love that man 

Put yourself in Jesus hands" 

Grandma's hands 

Grandma's hands 

Used to hand me piece of candy 

Grandma's hands 

Picked me up each time I fell 

Grandma's hands 

Boy, they really came in handy 

She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy 

What you want to spank him for? 

He didn' drop no apple core" 

But I don't have Grandma anymore 

If I get to Heaven I'll look for 

Grandma's hands
