Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
She say, "Jamie, don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
There just might be snakes in the grass"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mother
Grandma's hands used to ache and sometimes swell
Grandma's hands used to grab them faces and tell her Eli
Baby, grandma understand that you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus' hands
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands used to give me a piece of candy
Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell home
Grandma's hands thought it really came in handy
She said, "Maddie, don't you whip that boy
What you wanna spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma's hands no more
If I get to heaven, I'll look for Grandma's hands
Hey, yeah
