Grandma´s hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma´s hands
Played a tambourine so well
Grandma´s hands
Used to issue out of warning.
She´d say, "Billy, don´t you run so fast,
might fall on a piece of glass,
might be snaked there in that grass."
Grandma´s hands

Grandma´s hands
Soothe a local unwed mother
Grandma´s hands
Used to ache sometime 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, "Mattie, 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 any more.
If I get to heaven I´ll look for
grandma´s hands
