    I think you are misunderstanding what the song says. When you hear
    The lyrics, it's in a Walmart TV commercial also, it sounds like grandma said,
    But it's actually, "Grandma's Hands."

    Bill Withers sings it, as do quite a few others.

    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, "Billy 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
    Boy, they really came in handy
    She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
    What you want to spank him for?
    He didn' drop no apple core"
    But I don't have Grandma anymore

    If I get to Heaven I'll look for
    Grandma's hands

    Kristy Lee from Mobile, Alabama sings it as well. However the song was written and performed by Bill Withers.
