Amos Moses

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
 He lived by his self in the swamp
 He hunted alligator for livin'
 He just knocked em' in the head with a stump
 Louisiana law gonna get you Amos
 It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
 Now everybody blamed his old man For makin' him mean as a snake
 When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy'd use him for alligator bait
 Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
 Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
 Chorus
 About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana
 Lived a cat named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna
 Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
 Named him after a man of the cloth
 Called him Amos Moses
 Everybody in south Louisiana Said Amos was a helluva man
 He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand
 That's all he got left cause a alligator bit it
 Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
 Well the sheriff caught wind of Amos
 In the swamp trappin alligator skins
 That sheriff went lookin for Amos
 Boy you know he never come out again
 I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
 You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
 Chorus
