Grandma's hands Used to feed the poor and frail Grandma's hands Used the piano keys so well Grandma's hands Used to pour herself an ale She'd say Tommy don't you get me wrong This is how I've lived so long Put my secrets in your song Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Used to wake me every morning Grandma's hands Used pots and pans so well Grandma's hands Gave me shelter from the storm And she'd say Tommy boy that storm will pass Have a sip from Grandma's glass Leave the light on if you ask Grandma's hands Grandma's hands They were old but they were sturdy 'Cause Grandma's hands They did the work for two Grandma's hands left Grandpa's too early But they never wiped a tear She'd say Tommy boy now don't you fear Grandma's hands can feel him here Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Held me close when she was dying 'Cause Grandmas hands Could never tell no lies Grandma's hands I could tell, I could tell that she was trying She said Tommy boy I've lived my life Any longer would not be right Let my hands guide songs you write Take Grandma's hands
