Grandma's Hands
Hey nana hey nana hey na Hey nana hey nana hey na 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 She’d say, “Baby, Grandma understands That you really love that man Put yourself in the Good Lord’s hands” Grandma’s hands Hey nana hey nana hey na Hey nana hey nana hey na She had class and style She had knowledge by the mile Letras de cancionesLit the world up with her smile But very low-key on the profile She said, “Tellin’ tales is a no Let me tell you how it goes Pure’s the word, Serve’s the verb Love is the cure so Live what you learn” Hey nana hey nana hey na Hey nana hey nana hey na 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, “Mama don’t you whip that child What you want to spank her for? She 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 Hey nana hey nana hey na Hey nana hey nana hey na Hey nana hey nana hey na Hey nana hey nana hey na
