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 |
