Willie Nelson - I'm My Own Grandpa lyrics

Your rating:

Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became the brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle though it makes me very sad
For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother, too

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

Now if my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I'm my own grandpa
