Amos Moses by Jerry Reed

Lyrics:

Well Amos Moses was a Cajun,

He lived by himself in the swamp.

He hunted alligators for a livin,

He just knocked 'em in the head with a stump.

The Louisiana law gonna get ya Amos

It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy

Well 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 neck, and throw him in the swamp,

Alligator bit him in a Louisiana bayou

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna

hey raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries,

Named him after a man of the cloth,

Called him Amos Moses

Well, the folks around south Louisiana

Said Amos was a hell of a man

He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator

And just use one hand

That's all he's got left cause an alligator bit him

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos

Was in the swamp huntin' alligator skins

So he snuck in the swamp, gonna getcha boy,

But he never come out again.

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to?

You can sure get lost in a Louisiana bayou!

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna

They raised a son who could eat up his weight in groceries,

Named him after a man of the cloth,

Called him Amos Moses
