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
Grandmas 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 grandmas hands
Family is a gift of god
With this song Id like to pay harness
To one of its members
Over the years her importance has been diminished
Her image tarnished but to me shell 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 grandmas 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 forGrandmas Hands
Ain't nothing like grandmas 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
Grandmas Hands
