[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!
