Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday mornings
Dm7 A7
Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
Dm7 G7
Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
A G
She say, "Scotty why you run so fast
A G
Might fall on a piece of glass
A G
Might be snakes there in that grass"

Grandma's hands, they keep on calling to me

Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mothers
Dm7 A7
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Dm7 G7
Grandma's hands, lord they'd really come in handy
A G
She say, "Bobbie why you want to whip that boy?
A G
What you want to whip him for?
A G
He didn't throw no apple core."
