"I'm My Own Grandpa" (sometimes rendered as "I'm My Own Grandpaw") is a novelty song written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe, performed by Lonzo and Oscar in 1947, about a man who, through an unlikely (but legal) combination of marriages, becomes stepfather to his own stepmother-that is, tacitly dropping the "step-" modifiers, he becomes his own grandfather.. here sung by one of the greatest story tellers the world has ever heard .. RIP .. ~ Steve Goodman ..
Funny he would sing that old hillbilly song. My Dad is 89 and loves it. Actually I love this guy but I love the old version best. But his here you can understand.
New verse: Many many years have passed, and soon we got divorced It made me very sad 'cause she was my true love, of course We finally got things settled and my heart was full of Glee And I'm so glad it didn't change our special family tree Someone helped me with the last second half on another video. Also, I didn't know he made a version of this. It's definitely something Steve Goodman would cover.
Stevie Goodman! God what a talent! The world was blessed to have him among us!
Steve was actually a very close friend to my mom and her brother AKA my uncle and was discovered by Kris Khristopherson
A fun old song, and Steve does it justice
I learned it off a record, too. Oh me - George Jones was on it, and Don Gibson....many goodies
Seeing Steve in Telluride is my idea of heaven.😇
A brilliant man taken oh so soon!
Thank You . . . 1 Eye . . .
