    Family Tree

    Many many years ago

    When I was twenty three,

    I got 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,

    For she was my father's wife.



    To complicate the matters worse,

    Although 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,

    Then that also made him brother

    To the widow's grown-up daughter

    Who, of course, was my step-mother.



    Father'r wife then had a son,

    Who kept them on the run.

    And he became my grandson'

    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 is my grandma too.



    If my wife is my grandmother,

    Then I am her grandchild.

    And every time I thik of it,

    It simply 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.

    As I remember, this was a song back in the mid to late 40's.

    Seems to me to either be from deep deep in the Appalachians or anywhere Hollywood.

    This is just my opinion and it's entirely correct.

    That cracks me up. Never saw it before and it looks like my guess was right. It was Hollywood portraying the deep deep Appalachians.

    Good but I think I liked the muppets better.
