Chet Atkins - I'm My Own Grandpa lyrics

Tell us a story grandpa Come on, please Many, many years ago When I was twenty-three I was married to a widow Who was pretty as can be Now this widow had a grown up daughter Who had hair of red My father fell in love with her And soon the two were wed This made my dad my son-in-law And really changed my very life For my daughter was my mother 'Cause she was my father's wife And to complicate the matter Even though it brought me joy I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy, yes I did My little baby then became My brother-in-law to Dad And so became my uncle Though it made me very sad For if he were my uncle Then that also made him brother Of the widow's grown-up daughter Who of course was my step-mother Don't you know? My father's wife then had a son Who kept them 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 Now if my wife is my grandmother Then I'm her grandchild And every time I think of it It nearly drives me wild 'Cause now I have become The strangest case you 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 Oh, I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa Now listen to this I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny I know But it really is so Oh, 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 Oh, I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa
