Grandma's Hands Lyrics - Tom Jones

(Bill Withers' Original 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, 

"Baby, 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 

Well, they really came in handy 

She'd say, 

"Baby, why'd you beat that boy" 

"What you want to spank him for?" 

"He didn't drop no apple core" 

But I ain't got Grandma anymore 

If I get to Heaven I'll look for 

Grandma's hands
