Redneck 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's 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's my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am
her grandchild. And every time I think 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.
