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,
 She'd say "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
