Lyrics: Dwight Latham, Moe Jaffe
Music: Dwight Latham, Moe Jaffe
Played by Jerry Garcia with David Grisman
Oh, 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 the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother
´Cause she was my father´s wife
To complicate the matter
Though it really brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy
This 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
Then that also made him brother
Of the widow´s grown-up daughter
WHo of course is my step-mother
Chorus
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
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
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandma
I am my own grandpa
[chorus]
