Anthony John Clarke - Im my own grandpa

Many, many years ago when ^A7I was twenty-three I got married to this widow and was ^Dpretty as can be The widow had a grown-up daughter ^Gwho had hair of red My ^Efather fell in love with her and ^A7soon the two were wed

This ^Dmade my dad my son-in-law which ^A7changed my very life My daughter was my mother 'cause she ^Dwas my father's wife To complicate the matter, though it ^Gbrought me only joy I ^Esoon became the father of a ^A7bouncing baby boy

This ^Dlittle baby then became a ^A7brother-in-law to dad And so became my uncle and it ^Dmade me very sad 'Cause if he was my uncle then he ^Galso was the brother Of the ^Ewidow's grown-up daughter who of ^A7course was my step-mother

And ^DI'm my ^A7own grand-^Dpa ^GI'm my own grand-^Apa It's ^Dfunny I know, but ^Greally it is ^Emso ^A7I'm my own grand-^Dpa

And ^DI'm my ^A7own grand-^Dpa ^GI'm my own grand-^Apa It's ^Dfunny I know, but ^Greally it is ^Emso ^A7I'm my own grand-^Dpa

My father's wife then had a son which ^A7kept us on the run This became my grandchild since he ^Dwas my daughter's son My wife is now my father's mother ^Gand it makes me blue Al^Ethough she is my wife she is my ^A7grandmother too

Now ^Dif my wife is my grandmother, ^A7I am her grandchild Every time I think of it, it ^Dalmost sends me wild Now I have become the strangest ^Gcase you ever saw As ^Ehusband of my grandmother, I ^A7am my own grandpa

And ^DI'm my ^A7own grand-^Dpa ^GI'm my own grand-^Apa It's ^Dfunny I know, but ^Greally it is ^Emso ^A7I'm my own grand-^Dpa
