0:21Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning
0:26Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
0:31Grandma's hand used to issue out a warning
0:35She'd say "Baby don't you run so fast
0:39Might fall on a piece of glass might be snakes there in my grass"
0:44Grandma's hands I'm talkin' 'bout my grandma's hands
0:53Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mother
0:58My grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
1:03Grandma's hands used to lift her face
1:07She'd say "Matty don' you whip that boy
1:11What you want to spank him for
1:14He didn't drop no apple core"
1:16Grandma's hands
3:32Grandma's hands
3:33Soothed a local unwed mother
3:36Grandma's hands
3:38Used to ache sometimes and swell
3:41Grandma's hands
3:43Used to lift her face and tell her
3:46She'd say "Matty don' you whip that boy
3:50What you want to spank him for
3:52He didn't drop no apple core"
3:54But I don't have Grandma anymore
3:57If I get to Heaven I'll look for
