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...
