[Lyric] Grandmas Hands (Merry Clayton)

[Verse 1]
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, "Baby sister, don't you run so fast
You might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in the grass"
Grandma's hands

[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 said, "Baby, Grandma understands
That you really loved that man
Put yourself in Jesus' hands"
Grandma's hands

[Verse 3]
Grandma's hands used to hand me a piece of candy
Grandma's hands picked me up each time I'd fall
Grandma's hands, boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Eve, don't you whip that child
What you want to spank her for?
She didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have my Granny anymore
If I get to heaven, I'm gonna look for Grandma's hands
[Chorus]
Grandma
Grandma
She'd say, "Eve, don't you whip that child
What you want to spank her for?
She didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have my Granny anymore
If I get to heaven, I'm gonna look for Grandma's hands

[Outro]
Grandma, don't you know I need you?
Right now, Grandma
Yes, Grandma
Grandma's hands
