| Bb | F7 | | M | any, many years ago when | I was twenty-three, |
|
| Bb | | I was married to a widow, she's as pr | etty as can be, |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | | This widow had a gr | own-up daughter w | ho had hair of red, |
|
| Bb | F7 | | My f | ather fell in lover with her, and s | oon these two were wed. |
|
|
| Bb | F7 | | This | made my dad my son-in-law and | changed my very life, |
|
| Bb | | My daughter was my mother 'cause she | was my father's wife. |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | | And then to comp | licate the matter, | though it brought me joy, |
|
| Bb | F7 | | I | soon became the father of a | bouncing baby boy. |
|
|
| | | Bb | F7 | Bb | Bb7 | | | I | 'm my | own grand | pa, | |
|
| | | Eb | Cm7 | | | I | 'm my own grand | pa. |
|
| | | Bb | Bb7 | Eb | Ebm | | | It sounds | funny, I k | now, but it | really is s | o, oh |
|
| | | Bb | F7 | Bb | | | I | 'm my | own grand | pa. |
|
|
| Bb | F7 | | This | bouncing baby then became a | brother-in-lay to dad, |
|
| Bb | | And so became my uncle, though it | made me very sad, |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | | For if he was my | uncle then he | also was the brother |
|
| Bb | F7 | | Of the widow's grown-up daughter, | who, of course, was my step-mother. |
|
|
| Bb | F7 | | My | father's wife then had a son who | kept them on the run. |
|
| Bb | | And he became my grandchild, for he | was my daughter's son. |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | | My wife is now my | mother's mother, | and it makes me blue, |
|
| Bb | F7 | | Because | although she is my wife, she's my | grandmother, too. |
|
|
| | | Bb | F7 | Bb | Bb7 | | | I | 'm my | own grand | pa, | |
|
| | | Eb | Cm7 | | | I | 'm my own grand | pa. |
|
| | | Bb | Bb7 | Eb | Ebm | | | It sounds | funny, I k | now, but it | really is s | o, oh |
|
| | | Bb | F7 | Bb | | | I | 'm my | own grand | pa. |
|
|
| Bb | F7 | | Now | if my wife is my grandmother, | then I am her grandchild. |
|
| Bb | | And every time I think of it, it | nearly drives me wild. |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | | For | now I have become the strangest | case you ever saw. |
|
| Bb | F7 | | Husband of my grandmother, | I'm my own grandpa. |
|
|
| | | Bb | F7 | Bb | Bb7 | | | I | 'm my | own grand | pa, | |
|
| | | Eb | Cm7 | | | I | 'm my own grand | pa. |
|
| | | Bb | Bb7 | Eb | Ebm | | | It sounds | funny, I k | now, but it | really is s | o, oh |
|
| | | Bb | F7 | Bb | | | I | 'm my | own grand | pa. |
