Grandma's Hands Lyrics - At Last - Gladys Knight

Baby don't you run so fast 

(She was always giving us a warning) 

Might be snakes there in that grass 

(She was looking out') 

Grandma's Hands 

(I remember them well.) 

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 "Gladys 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 

Couldn't wait till Sunday morning (oh baby don't you run so fast) 

Cooking up that fried chicken, 

Smelling up the whole house 

"Gladys don't you run so fast! 

Might fall on a piece of glass! 

Might be snakes there in that grass!" 

Grandma's hands 

Ain't nothing like grandma's hands

Family is a gift of god, 

With this song I'd like to pay harness 

To one of it's members 

Over the years her importance has been diminished 

Her image tarnished, but to me she'll always be a rare jewel 

I've heard her called by many loving nicknames 

Nana, Mimi, Mamaw, Big Mama, Poppi 

But unlike millions of others, I simply call her Grandma 

Ain't nothing like grandma's hands 

Let me tell you this 

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 "Baby, 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 

Ain't nothing like grandma's hands 

Used to hand me some candy 

Grandma's hands Picked me up each time I fell 

Grandma's hands Boy, they really came in handy 

She'd say "Baby, don't you whip that boy! 

What you want to whip him for? 

He didn't drop no apple core!"
