[Verse 1]
Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands played a tambourine so well
Oh, Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
She'd say "Billy, don't you run so fast
You might fall on a piece of glass
There might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Ah ah

[Verse 2]
Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands played a tambourine so well
Oh, Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
She'd say "Oh Billy, don't you run so fast
You might fall on a piece of glass
There might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Ah ah

[Verse 3]
Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mother
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Oh, Grandma's hands used to lift her face and tell her
She'd say "Oh, baby Grandma understands
That you really loved that man
Put yourself in Jesus' hands"
Grandma's hands

Ah ah (Ah ah)
Ah ah (Ah ah)
Ah ah (Ah ah)
Ah ah ah oh (Ah ah)

[Verse 4]
Grandma's hands used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell
Oh, Grandma's hands, boy, they really came in handy
She'd say "Betsy 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 anymore
If I get to heaven, I'll look for

[Outro]
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands, Grandma's hands
