Grandma's Hands

[Intro]

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm

[Verse 1]

Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday mornin'

Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well

Grandma's hands used to issue out a warnin'

She'd say, "Tony don't you run so fast

Might fall on a piece of glass

Might be snakes there in that grass,"

Grandma's hands, yes, uh, oh Lord

[Verse 2]

Grandma's hands sooth the 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 loved that man

Put yourself in Jesus' hands."

Grandma's hands, oh Lord

[Verse 3]

Grandma's hands used to give me a piece of candy, oh

Grandma's hands picked me up each timе I fell, oh

Grandma's hands used to really comе in handy

She'd say, "Mattie don't you whip that boy

Why you wanna spank him for?

He didn't drop no apple core,"

But I don't have Grandma anymore

When I get to heaven I'm gonna look for

Grandma's hands

[Outro]

Mmm-mmm-mmmmm
