I'm My Own Grandpa Recorded by Willie Nelson
D
D A
Now many many years ago when I was twenty three
D
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
G
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
E A
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed
D A
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
D
My daughter was my mother cause she was my father's wife
G
To complicate the matters even though it brought me joy
E A
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
D A
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
D
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
G
For if he was my uncle that also made him the brother
E A
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother
D A
My father's wife then had a son that kept them on the run
D
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son
G
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
E A
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother to
D A
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I am her grandchild
D
And every time I think of it it nearly drives me wild
G
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
E A
As the husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpa
D A D G D A
I'm my own grand-pa I'm my own grand-pa
D G
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
D A D
Oh I'm my own grand-pa
