Lyrics
0:13Well Amos Moses was a Cajun
0:15He lived by himself in the swamp
0:18He hunted alligator for a living
0:20He just knock 'em in the head with a stomp
0:22The Louisiana law's gonna get you Amos
0:26It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp boy
0:31Now everybody blamed his old man
0:33For raising him mean as a snake
0:35When Amos Moses was a boy
0:37His daddy would use him as alligator bait
0:40Tie a rope around his waist
0:41Throw him in the swamp
0:45Alligator bait on the Louisiana bayou
0:49Bout 45 minutes
0:50Southeast of Tipidow Louisiana
0:53Lived a man called Doc Milsap
0:55And his pretty wife Hannah
0:58They raised up a son that could
0:59Eat up his weight in groceries
1:03Named him after a man of the cloth
1:05They called him Amos Moses
1:16Now folks around South Louisiana
1:18Said Amos was a helluva man
1:21He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator
1:23And just use one hand
1:25That's all he got left
1:26'Cause the alligator bit him ha ha
1:30Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
1:34Well the Sheriff got wind that
1:35Amos was in the swamp trappinp alligator skin
1:38So he hid in the swamp
1:40I'm gonna get you boy
1:41But he never come out again
1:43Well I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to
1:48Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
1:52About 45 minutes
1:53Southeast of Tipidow Louisiana
1:57There lived a man called Doc Milsap
1:58And his pretty wife Hannah
2:01They raised up a son that could
2:02Eat up his weight in groceries
2:06Named him after a man of the cloth
2:09They called him Amos Moses
Well Amos Moses was a Cajun He lived by himself in the swamp He hunted alligator for a living He just knock 'em in the head with a stomp The 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 raising him mean as a snake When Amos Moses was a boy His daddy would use him as alligator bait Tie a rope around his waist Throw him in the swamp Alligator bait on the Louisiana bayou Bout 45 minutes Southeast of Tipidow Louisiana Lived a man called Doc Milsap And his pretty wife Hannah 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 And just use one hand That's all he got left 'Cause the alligator bit him ha ha Left arm gone clean up to the elbow Well the Sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp trappinp alligator skin So he hid in the swamp I'm gonna get you boy But he never come out again Well I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou About 45 minutes Southeast of Tipidow Louisiana There lived a man called Doc Milsap And his pretty wife Hannah 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
