Grandma’s Hands Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm

[Verse 1]
Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday mornin'
Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
Grandma's hands used to issue out a warnin'
She'd say, "Tony don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in that grass,"
Grandma's hands, yes, uh, oh Lord

[Verse 2]
Grandma's hands sooth the 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 loved that man
Put yourself in Jesus' hands."
Grandma's hands, oh Lord

[Verse 3]
Grandma's hands used to give me a piece of candy, oh
Grandma's hands picked me up each timе I fell, oh
Grandma's hands used to really comе in handy
She'd say, "Mattie don't you whip that boy
Why you wanna spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core,"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
When I get to heaven I'm gonna look for
Grandma's hands
[Outro]
Mmm-mmm-mmmmm

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
