Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
I say, 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 the grass"
Oh, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
I say, oh Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her
She said: "Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
But put yourself in Jesus' hands"
Oh, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
I say, oh Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She said: "Matty, don't you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to Heaven, oh oh oh
I'll look for Grandma's
I'll look for Grandma's
I'll look for Grandma's
I'll look for Grandma's hands
