To complicate the A7matters even Bmthough it brought me joy
I B7soon became the father of a E7bouncing baby boy
My Alittle baby then became a E7brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle though it Amade me very sad
For if he was my A7uncle that Bmalso made him the brother
Of B7the widow's grown-up daughter who E7of course was my step-mother
