[Intro]
Yeah!
Here comes Amos!
Ha!
[Verse 1]
Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for livin'
He just'a knock 'em in the head with a stump
Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy
[Verse 2]
Now everybody 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 waist
And throw him in the swamp, haha!
The Alligator Man in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
'Bout 45 minutes
Southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana
There lived a cat called Doc Millsap
And his pretty wife, Hannah
Well, 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
[Interlude]
Yeah, Haha!
Ha!
[Verse 3]
Yeah
Now folks in South Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man'a
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
He just use one hand
That's all he got left
'Cause the alligator bit him, Hahaha
Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow
[Verse 4]
Well, the Sheriff got wind of Amos
Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skin
So he snuck in the swamp, gonna get the boy
He never did come out again
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to? Haha
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
'Bout 45 minutes
Southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana
There lived a man called Doc Millsap
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
[Outro]
Sit down on 'em, Amos
Make it count, son
Haha, get on boy!
Haha!
Yeah
Yeah!
Get down on 'em, boy
You solve it
Haha!
