Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He haunted alligators for a living
He just knock them in the head with a stump
The Louisiana law's gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy
Now everybody blames his old man
For making 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
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
About forty-five minutes southeast
Of Thibodaux Louisiana
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
Named him aftеr the man of the cloth
Called him Amos Mosеs
Now folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest
The meanest alligator
And just use only one hand
That's all he got left
Cause the alligator bit him
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
Well, the sheriff got wind that Amos
Was in the swamp trapping alligator skins
So he snook in the swamp
Gonna get the boy
But he ain't come out again
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to?
Well, you can sure get lost
In the Louisiana bayou
About forty-five minutes southeast
Of Thibodaux Louisiana
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
Named him aftеr the man of the cloth
Called him Amos Mosеs
About forty-five minutes southeast
Of Thibodaux Louisiana
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
Named him aftеr the man of the cloth
Called him Amos Mosеs
