Yeah here comes Amos Now Amos Moses was a Cajun He lived by himself in the swamp He hunted alligator for a living He'd just knock them in the head with a stump The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp boy
Now everyone blamed 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 neck and throw him in the swamp Alligator man in the Louisiana bayou About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana Lived a man called Dr. Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah They raised up a son who could eat 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 hell of a man He could trap the biggest meanest alligator And he'd just use one hand That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it Left arm gone clear up to the elbow
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp Trading alligator skins So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy But he never came out Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana Lived a cat named Dr. Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries Named him after a man of the cloth Called him Amos Moses
I know son Make it count son About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana...
