Saugeye - Grandma's Hands Lyrics

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 baby don't ya run so fast
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 face and tell us
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 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 Pappy don't 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
When I get to heaven I will look for Grandma's hands

Well Grandma's hands took me fishin' in the springtime
Grandma's hands when the Dogwoods bloom
Grandma's hands boy they really came in handy
She'd say baby Grandma understands that you really love a man
Put yourself in Jesus hands Grandma's hands
