     Grandmal 's Hands Gil Scott-Heron
    Grandma's hands clapped to church on Sunday mornings
    Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
    Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
    She say, "Scotty why you run so fast,
    Might fall on a piece of glass,
    Might be snakes there in that grass?"
    Grandma's hands, they keep on calling to me.
    Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mothers
    Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
    Grandma's hands, lord they'd really come in handy
    She say, "Bobbie why you want to whip that boy?
    What you want to whip him for?
    He didn't throw no apple core."
    Grandma's hands, they keep on calling to me.
    Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mothers
    Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
    Grandma's hands, well they really came in handy
    She say, "Bobbie why you want to whip that boy?
    What you want to whip him for?
    He didn't throw no apple core."
    But I don't have grandma anymore
    When I get to heaven I'll look for grandma's hands.
