Al Jarreau - Grandma's Hands Lyrics






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
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

    Please replace Al Green's pic with Al Jarreau. We don't all look alike.

  2. O.... ....

    Why do you have a photo of Al Green?

    Nice version....... don't quite know why the pic of Al Green is up there though.

    M.... H....

    I was wondering the same thing!

    Al Jarreau takes me back to my child hood.  Teddy Riley stole that beat and sped it up. "I Like The Way Work It, Yo Diggity."
