Granma's Hands (2020 Remaster)

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 said, "Michael, don't you run so fast
You might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there, in that grass"
Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mother
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands used to lift her free and tell her
Baby, grandma understands
That you really loved that man
Put yourself in the spirit's hands
Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands used to hand me a 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, "Nattie, don't you whip that boy
What do you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core
But I don't want grandma anymore
If I get to Heaven, I will look for grandma's hands"
