Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday
morning
Grandma's hands
Played the tambour ine so well
Yes, Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, Lily, why'd 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 the local unwed mother.
Grandma's hands
used to ache sometimes and swell
Yes, Grandma's hands
used to lift her face and tell her she could say
Baby, Grandma understands
that you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus' hands
Grandma's hands
Oh, oh, Grandma's hands
Used to hand me a piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up when I would fall
Yes, Grandma's hands
Yes, they really came in handy
She'd say, Daddy,
why'd you whip that boy?
Why'd you wanna spank that boy?
He didn't drop no apple core,
but I don't have grandma anymore, no.
If I ever get to heaven,
I'll look for grandma's ass.
I said, if I ever get to heaven,
I'll look for grandma's hands.
I said, if I ever get to heaven,
I'll look for Grandma's hands,
Grandma's hands. you
