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
