Amos Moses
Jerry Reed
1.
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, he lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligators for a livin 'just knock 'em in the head with a
stump The Louisiana law's gonna get ya, Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp,boy
2.
Now everybody blames 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 throw him in the swamp
alligator bait in the Louisana bayou.
well about forty-five minutes southeast of Tibideaux,Louisana
live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
(spoken)named him after the cloth---called him Amos Moses
3.
Now the folks around south Louisana said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest meanest alligator and just uses one hand
That's all he got left, 'cause the alligator bit him
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.
4.
Well, the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp, trappin'
alligator skins
so he snook in the swamp,gonna get the boy,but he never coome out
again
well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou.
