[SwaggtasticGaming]

[battlehrfred]

If my mind serves me correctly,this one was written by a newfoundlander by the name of A Frank Willis. ty lolololo good entertainment

[teelaize]

Thanks for singing an awesome aussie song and I hope some more songs

[harryfaber]

I just showed this to a friend of mine, who comes from a town where this sort of complicated family is pretty common! Raised a smile.

Good singing and playing.

[Lufnisfv]

Best version of this song.

[khatpandwa]

[enderwign]

That was a great rendition of this song. Nice!

[1otviii]

great song. found you from rpeek, the banjo player. glad I did. tom

[iamdave47]

Phil, I have loved this song ever since I saw Uncle Floyd do it on his TV show on WOR channel 9 wayyy back when. I can't seem to get all the chords, any chance you could send them or post them?

Thanks

[mrgreer51]

@iamdave47 I use a capo and I play it in C position. The chords are C,F,G,Dm, and D. The one that may be hardest to figure out is the Dm.

[iamdave47]

That's the one I'm missing!!!!! Thanks, I appreciate the response. Love the video, love the way you do the song.

Regards

Dave

[vrghiks]

Well done! Just as good if not better than anyone else could do.

[ssprofession]

seems like when i was a kid i heard grandpa jones do this somewhere

[mrgreer51]

Could be. Lots of folks have done this one. Lonzo and Oscar did it on the Opry several times, so maybe you're thinking of them.

[ForcefighterX2]

well done! :-D

[mrgreer51]

If you think I suck at this, you should see me eat spaghetti. I really suck at that.

[shawnscool]

great song and well played. and great attitude toward the people that have negative ones

[catacoomber]

hehe nice

[CradLeRcker]

haha touche touche.

[Luckybug56]

Do you have to be rude, crude & unsophisticated?

I thought he did a fine job on an old classic front porch song.

[shawnastorm89]

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,

And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,

For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw

As 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,

Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

[shawnastorm89]

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,

I was 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 they, too, 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 matter, even though it brought me joy,

I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

[ChomFa]

Yeah, Mr Greer...send lyrics!! Please!! (Or maybe post 'em up?)

[Tutorials322]

how did you learn the lyrics?

[mrgreer51]

It took a while.

[GoGooseFilms]

[lynyrd01skynyrd13]

ahhhh wheres the engineers hat in this video?

[mrgreer51]

This was my first YouTube video, and I forgot the hat. It was more of an experiment to see if I could get it to work. I just didn't want to redo it.

[horse11lover]

ROCK ON GRANDPA!!!! WOO HOO!!! good job remembering! thats so sweet.

[itachi6260]

good playing ^_^

[deffered003]

[tmh2008]

nice job remembering all of that

[ibakedthecake]

FREAKY!

[csason]

HAW HAW .. good one.

[kennacasey]

u really look like your grandpa!

[fiddlechick101]

hey i found it on ur website and i clicked on it and the computer put me on youtube p.s i really like it

[ihatemichealjackson]

they dont need all the extra stuff in the song. the only way hes his own grandpa is that his daughter married his dad. his mom's (daughter's)mom is his wife so his wife is his grandma and hes married 2 her so hes his grandpa

[Yekyaa]

His STEPdaughter married his dad. Yes, you may not need the extra stuff in the song, but it wouldn't exactly make it a song anymore.

Hmm, "Hi, I married a widow.Her daughter married my dad. Now I'm married to my stepdaughter's mom, which is my wife's daughter's mom, which is my wife's daughter's mom's daughter's mom, thereby making me my own grandpa because I'm married to my grandma."

Yeah, good song. We ALL know it doesn't NEED the extra stuff, but if that happened it would suck.

[Yekyaa]

Here's a better one: You jump from a cliff;Everyone else with common sense thinks it's a stupid idea. One less person to point out that "Rain is wet." Everyone wins. You fail life. PS: 500 character limit isn't going to limit my need to post my feelings.

[ihatemichealjackson]

ya i no stepdaughter but i just said daughter 2 save time

[hpna111]

and look at how much time it saved you, you had too make 2 comments instead of one

[n008assassin]

funny song and awesome job covering it. 5/5 stars

[cacobean]

ur great this song is hard for me to sing, and i cant get the rythem right so you are amazing :D

[RazerBladz]

This is very confusing...

[fbandit007]

LMAO

[dappylu]

austin you SUCK. You're a typical immature punk for a 20 year old. GROW UP AZZ HOLE! This video rocks!!

[mrgreer51]

I don't know where this somg came from, but I don't know how someone could just make this stuff up. I can easily see how this could be based on a true story.

[DaddyBare2002]

SUPERB JOB ~ but, what's SCARY is that **I** must be, at least, APPROACHING something along that line. A man who used to be by brother-in-law, finally, "wised up" {one might say} and divorced my sister and married my niece ~ making him, no, my nephew; so-o-o-o, in referring to the SAME "specimen", I changed from a brother-in-law to an uncle with just the sharing of a few words ~ "Divorce decree granted" & "I, now, pronounce you"; so-o-o, this stuff, really, CAN happen.

[dappylu]

Good job! Love this song, though it's confusing LOL! :)

[KC5E]

I love it! You guys (ya'll, I'm in Arkansas)are fantastic!

[longboardess]

[Aconyne24]

[austinkrizzam]

[mrgreer51]

Shoot, this is nothing compared to the way I eat spaghetti. I REALLY suck when I eat spaghetti.

[bigdjindustriez]

[morganhahaha]

[Just4Comedy]

I feel your pain...Im also my own Grandpa.

[littleteenboy]

Mein Sohn war nun der Bruder von der Tochter meiner Frau,

also Schwager meines Vaters, daraus wurde ich noch schlau.

Doch als Schwager meines Vaters, fiel mir mit Schrecken ein...............

wird mein Sohn nicht nur mein Sohn, sondern auch mein Onkel sein.

[littleteenboy]

So wurde mein Vater mein Schwiegersohn, doch damit fing's erst an.

Meine Stieftochter war meine Stiefmutter, denn mein Vater war ihr Mann.

So weit, so gut, wir blickten durch, so lief das erste Jahr.

Dann klingelte der Klapperstorch und ich wurde Papa.

[littleteenboy]

funny i know a german song that called so : Mein Opa das bin ich . but with another melodie. thers the text

Es war vor vielen Jahren, es fing ganz harmlos an,

ich traf 'ne reiche Witwe und wurde ihr zweiter Mann.

Die Tochter dieser Witwe war grade 18 Jahr',

sie fuhr auf meinen Vater ab .... und ab gings zum Altar.

[maggymaybrodie]

how much fun is this? wow!! pretty good lmao

[DMB4UnME]

May I have the chords, please?!!

[mrgreer51]

The chords you are having trouble with are probably D minor, followed by a D major.

[maizcul]

ROFL! Nice try

[UncleMacJug]

I learned this one from Spike Jones - thanks for a great laugh.

[Wishuey]

A great one from the past. I had an uncle who used to recite "The Cremation of Sam McGee", following up with a fine rendition of "Grandpa" accompanied on...ukelele!

Thanks for the memories.

[methomason]

I played this at work and everyone at the Coop joined in the corase. It was quite a sight and made for a quite rest of the day as we ran the customers off!

MIke T

[2ndgeneration]

I reckon! lol That was all right. I have heard it many times in the bluegrass style around here.

[camargo25]

Too funny!  Can't wait for more!
