Willie Nelson - Grandma's Hands Lyrics
Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning.
Grandma's hands played the 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,
Grandma's hands
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'd say, "Baby Grandma understands,
That you really loved that man,
Put yourself in Jesus' hands."
Grandma's Hands
Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell.
Grandma's hands, boy the really came in handy
She'd say, "Mattie 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,
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands.
I'll look for Grandma
Um, mm, mm.
Grandma's hands.

Willie Nelson Grandma's Hands Comments
My grandma got up every morning and swept the chicken droppings out of the yard just to feed the chickens so they'd poop some more.
What a cadence on this song... Really love it!
Greatings from Venezuela!
Willie always puts a lot feeling into his music but his vocal sounds less than exciting next to a gospel giant like Malvis Staples.
One word vibrato
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
He does not sing it right
He's Willie Nelson! He can sing however he wants

Willie's music never gets old. He is one of music's "Greatest Icons" I hope I will get the opportunity to meet him one day.
