Amos Moses Lyrics

Yeah, here comes Amos

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

The 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 use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

About forty-five minutes south east of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a man called 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

Now all the folks in and 'round south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man, he could trap the biggest
[ Jerry Reed Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
The 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
Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
[Incomprehensible]
Boy you know he never come out again

Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou

About forty-five minutes south east of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a cat called 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

[Incomprehensible]
Make it count son

About forty-five minutes south east of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna

Yeah, here comes Amos

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
