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
