Willie Nelson - I'm My Own Grandpa Lyrics
Now, many many years ago
When I was twenty three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be
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 matters
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 the brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my 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
That 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, she is my wife
She's my grandmother too
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my 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 nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As the 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
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
I'm my own grandpa

Eh, I kinda like Ray’s version better, even if it is the cover. Ray just sounds less depressed....
Many, many years ago when I was 23
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 they too were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life
For now 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
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so he became my uncle though it mad me very sad
For if he were my uncle that would also made him brother
Of the widows grown-up daughter who was of course my stepmother
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 two
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of 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 grandpaw
Oh I'm my own grandpaw
I'm my own grandpaw
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I'm my own grandpaw
(Listen to this now)
I'm my own grandpaw
I'm my own grandpaw
I'm my own grandpaw
Predestination
Uncle Willie is a legend
This cover adds absolutely nothing to the song, what was the point of it?
CJ Carter maybe he was bored? That’s all I can think of. I like ray stevns verrsinn in npte
@Nathan Taylor Check out the original Lonzo and Oscar version
So this is what it’s like to do lsd
Terrible job on a comical tune.
Shoutout to Mr Fin for showing our class this sophomore year
Welcome to Mineral, WA
Austrians: *Laughs in Habsburg*
Willie Nelson is god!!!!
Willie's got a really cool grandpa.
If you divorce your wife in Mississippi is she still your sister?
I need a flow chart or something
Written by Mark Twain, sung by Willie Nelson. Very out of time.
HE DIDN'T WRITE THIS SONG PEOPLE!!! RESEARCH BEFORE YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO LOOK SO IGNORANT!!!
What do you call a 12 yr old girl from West Virginia who can outrun her 7 brothers?
A virgin
lovelyj 75 wow, giving Alabama a break for once in the internets entire fucking life.
My head hurts....
I laughed my head off...
*Willie Nielsen
What kinda hillbilly shit is this?
Thanks for showing this to me Jim Moriarity
Long car trips: this song.
Mr Pai's class?
i first heard this song on the radio in a small southern illinois town while i was hanging out with my bros. we had to pull over and just take it all in
It is by Ray Stevens not willie Nelson
Hahahahahahaaaaaa ol Willie
this is some Arkansas shit
The National Anthem of the Confederate States of America
Is that possible to be your own grandpa
*alabama has entered the chat*
Actually, I think there's technically no incest involved in this.
1:17 ooooo plot twist
Lol.. Haha . this is funny. First time I have heard this 2019
this is the largest b0p i’ve ever heard thank you so much
+kidbehindacamera
How the hell much weed was smoking when he wrote this song?
He didn't write it.
Yep...This song goes back LONG before Willie was writing or performing! Just glad he has good enough weed to find it and bring the song out for us again to all enjoy!
@kevin newsom is the original on YouTube? Or was it never recorded before this?
allen crown grandpa jones was the original artist.
He didn’t
only on question what the fuck willie nelson smok whan he wrote this song?
Him~my family loves each other very much😂~welcome to Alabama ~🤣
Must have lived in a trailer park when he wrote the song
If you divorce your wife is she still your sister?
do you become the stepdad or stepbrother?
I knew i was related to someone cool!
Sorry it's really West Virginia!
Mickey Hodge no Alabama
Nice someone wrote a song about everyday situations in West Virginia! This song is the best
Mind blown lol
this guy cant sing at all.....he has a rotten sense of tempo
He has 37 Awards and 13 of those are grammys. Are you really sure you want to go down that road?
I knew the 4chan green text had to get it from somewhere.
Who knew they had any culture. All I ever see them do is complain and wank to Hitler...
he had to been high af when he made this song lol
Actually he wasn’t the one who wrote it
He sounds high enough to forget the song is supposed to be funny. The Ray Stevens version is much easier to laugh about. The audio for the Ray Stevens version is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXU-ZdmzNmo
Omg I didn’t know Willie sang this too. 😂 this is great
I just watched Predestination. Kind of puts a whole new spin on the song.
Geez, Willie, lighten up. You sound like you're at your granddad's funeral.
How can he be at his own...?
Confusion.
@Some Random guy. he would be there... in the coffin
So he is attending his own funeral lol
Some Random guy. His grandpa on his birth mother’s or his dad’s side...?
This shit is a funny ass head,twister
I love this song ☺
lol lol
awesome
You little ripper 👽👍
:D Ha ha!
Me and my sister mama love this song!
I love Willie but just not the same without Lonzo and Oscar singing it. It's meant to be comedy
The Stupids version is the best.
what in tarnation?.............................................
what in probation!!
it's not incest listen and you will understand
And I thought I have the *complete* Willie Nelson discography. I guess not, for I have never heard this one yet!
Same here!
Why is Hulk Hogan singing to me about inbreeding?
not really inbreeding fam
Really showcases Willie's voice...
Man, the scene in Edge of Darkness where Ronnie plays The Time of the Preacher would have been really awkward if he played this by accident instead of the other song.
Discovered this gem via the film." Predestination"
Welcome to Alabama
Nze Bama It’s a state, not a city.
Actually look over the chart version nothing there is technically incestual so not really
You mean welcome to Florida. Alabama is sophisticated.
Brittannia Moon ahh so your a brat
@Caitlyn Cardenas you're?
Nobody but Willie
Daniel Winn its not his song
well im gonna leave myself my own inheritance.176 bucks, and a classic coke bottlecap worth a quarter.
What would even be more trippy would be if Willie would be then forced to change his last name to Nillie, as his grandpa's was.
So Willie Nillie would be, well, uhm, yep.
just now is the first time i ever heard anyone sing it besides my dad....and me
My dad played guitar and sang it alot when i was a kid...i always thought he wrote it,,,,lol
Wait, so that makes you your dad's uncle?
Sound like something my old man would do.
i never got the hype. willie nelson sounds so boring :/
Willie is THE BEST THERE EVER WAS!! Cash has got nothing on him, Willie is a great writer (one of the best) and probably the nicest person alive. He is in an advanced state of mind, and any criticism of him should be illegal!
The hype is terrible. In 1975 big rock brother came home, into hard country. In that context, The Sound In Your Mind etc. were and remain great. "Band Of Brothers" is classic while "God's Problem Child" is hype of i'man-outlaw self Bono from U2 could have dreamed in his jaunts abroad.
serialoverflow
If ya don't like it, go find a safe space and go fuk yerself as you scroll on past. Crybaby. Why complain, you stopped to listen to him, he didn't hijack you.... Go listen to some disco or rap crap, dikweed!
serialoverflow So every song must be loud and a headache? !
serialoverflow Dont listen to Willie, Who cares.
Good song. Sounds like my wifes family.
Lol you serious?
*sister
im shocked this has so few veiws. bummer. this song rules
Perhaps because it's not his song, it's a very old song.
Sadly not many people my age (14) like real country music
+wolf master Is real country music about incest?
@Crazy Conspiratard pardon me
+Crazy Conspiratard this song isn't about incest, listen carefully
