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
Verse 2:Em
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.
Verse 3:Em
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't 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
Other
Mmm-mm-mm
