Grandma she don't really get around good anymore
In fact to get her out of the house is really quite a chore
But everyday somebody seems to find the time to stop
To see if grandma needs something from where they go to shop
You see love helps those who cannot help themselves
It cares about those hearts that's been put up on a shelf
It'll introduce a lonely soul to a lonely someone else
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
Mr Johnson has a small farm down in southern Tennessee
But one year he took ill before the time to plant the seed
And no one knows which neighbor planted or just won't tell
But he had his best crop ever by the time that he got well
You see love helps those who cannot help themselves...
