I'm My Own Grandpa
David Grisman

He's his own grandpa


Now many many years ago

When I was twenty-three

I was married to a widow

Who was pretty as could be


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 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

A brother-in-law to dad

And so became my uncle

Though it made me very sad


For if he was my uncle

That also made him brother

To the widow's grown-up daughter

Who, of course, was my step-mother


I'm my own grandpa

(He's his 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

(He's his 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 am her grandchild

And every time I think of it

It clearly drives me wild


For 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

(He's his own grandpa)

It sounds funny, I know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa


Oh, that years
