Grandma she don't really get around good anymore
In fact to get her out of the house
is really quite a chore
But every day somebody seems to
find the time to stop
To see if Grandma needs something
from where they go to shop
'Cause you see
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
It cares about those hearts
that's been put up on a shelf
It will introduce a lonely soul
to a lonely someone else
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
Mr. Johnson has a small farm
down in southern Tennessee
But one year he took ill
before the time to plant the seed
And no one knows which neighbor planted
or they just won't tell
But he had the best crop ever
by the time that he got well
'Cause you see
A little helpless baby child
was born into this world
She didn't have a daddy
and her mother was just a girl
But there came a young man willing
to give both of them a home
The girl he married, the child he cherished
as though she was his own
'Cause you see
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
It cares about those hearts
that's been put up on a shelf
It will introduce a lonely soul
to a lonely someone else
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
Yeah, Love helps those who cannot help themselves
