...GRANDMA'S HANDS... by Bill Withers
---------------------................
*from 'Just As I Am' (1971)*
Intro:
Mmm-mm-mm, mmm-mm-mm.
Verse 1:
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.
Verse 2:
Grandma's hands, sothed a local un-wed 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.
Verse 3:
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't you whip that boy, what you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no apple core", but I don't have Grandma anymore.
If I get to Heaven, I'll look for, Grandma's hands.
Outro:
Mmm-mm-mm.
