Grandma’s Hands - Al Jarreau

Grandma's Hands - Al Jarreau
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' 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
