Amos Moses

In the style of

Jerry Reed

Lyrics

yeah
here comes amos

now amos moses
was a cajun
he lived by himself
in the swamp

he hunted alligator
for a livin'
he'd just knock 'em
in the head
with a stump

the louisiana law
gonna get ya amos
it ain't legal
huntin' alligator
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
would use him
for alligator bait

tie a rope
around his waste
and throw him
in the swamp
ha ha ha
alligator bait
in the louisiana bayou

about
forty-five minutes
southeast of
thibodaux louisiana

lived a man
called doc milsap
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
called him
amos moses
yeah
ha ha

now all
the folks around
south louisiana
said amos was
a hell of a man

he could trap
the biggest
the meanest alligator
and just use one hand

that's all he got left
'cause the
alligator bit it
ha ha ha
left arm gone
clean up to the elbow

well the sheriff
got wind that amos
was in the swamp
trappin'
alligator skin

so he snuck
in the swamp
gonna get the boy
but he never
come out again

well i wonder where
the louisiana sheriff
went to
heh heh
well you can
sure get lost
in the louisiana bayou

about
forty-five minutes
southeast of
thibodaux louisiana

lived a cat
called doc milsap
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
called him
amos moses
sit down on 'em amos
make it count son

about
forty-five minutes
southeast of
thibodaux louisiana

lived a man
called doc milsap
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
called him
amos moses
