Here come 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
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'd use him for alligator bait Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana Lived a cat named Doc Milsap, 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 the folks around South Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man He could trap the biggest 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 got wind of (that) Amos Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins So he snuck in the swamp Gonna get the boy But he never come out again
I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to You can sure get lost in the Louisiana Bayou
About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana Lived a cat named Doc Milsap, his pretty wife Hanna 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
