Grandma's hands |
|
Clapped in church on Sunday morning |
|
Grandma's hands |
|
Played a tambourine so well |
|
Grandma's hands |
|
Used to issue out a warning |
|
She'd say, "Billy don't 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 a 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 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, "Matty 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 anymore |
|
If I get to Heaven I'll look for |
|
Grandma's hands |
