Grandma's Hands

Used to lift her face and tell her
Grandma's hands
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
He didn't drop no apple core"
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
What you want to spank him for?
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
If I get to Heaven I'll look for
Might be snakes there in that grass"
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
But I don't have Grandma anymore
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands

Boy, they really came in handy

Might fall on a piece of glass
She'd say, "Baby, Grandma understands
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
