Amos Moses |
| Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, he lived by himself in the swamp |
| He hunted alligator for a living |
| He used to knock 'em in the head with a stump |
| Louisiana law’s gonna get you, Amos |
| It ain’t legal hunting alligator 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 would use him for alligator bait |
| Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp |
| The alligator man in the Louisiana bayou |
| About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana |
| Lived a cat called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah |
| Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries |
| Named him after a man of the cloth |
| They called him Amos Moses |
| Now folks around South Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man |
| He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator |
| He only had to use one hand |
| That’s all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him |
| Left arm gone clean up to the elbow |
| Now the Sheriff got wind of Amos was in the swamp trapping alligator skin |
| So he snuck in the swamp, «I'm gonna get you boy», but he never come out again |
| Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to You sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou |
| About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana |
| Lived a cat called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah |
| Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries |
| Named him after a man of the cloth |
| They called him Amos Moses |
| Sit down on 'em Amos, make it count son |
| Get on boy |
| Here comes Amos |
| Yeah, you get on him boy, use your wit |
