Spoken: Here come Amos |
|
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, |
|
He lived by himself in the swamp. |
|
He hunted alligator for a living, |
|
He just knock them in the head with a stump! |
|
Louisiana law's gonna getcha Amos! |
|
It ain't legal huntin alligator |
|
Down in the swamp now! |
|
Well 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 chuck him in the swamp. |
|
Alligator bait in a Louisiana bayou! |
|
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibido Louisiana. |
|
Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap |
|
And his pretty wife Hannah. |
|
They raised up a son who could |
|
Eat his weight in groceries! |
|
They named him after a man of cloth, |
|
Called him Amos Moses. |
|
Now the folks around South Louisiana, |
|
Thought Amos was a hell of a man. |
|
He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator, |
|
And just use one hand. |
|
That's all he got left |
|
Cause an alligator bit it! |
|
Left arm gone, 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? |
|
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou! |
|
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibido Louisiana. |
|
Lived a cat named Doc Mill Sap |
|
And his pretty wife Hannah. |
|
They raised up a son who could |
|
Eat his weight in groceries! |
|
They named him after a man of cloth |
|
Called him Amos Moses. |
|
Sit down on em Amos! |
|
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana. |
|
Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap |
|
And his pretty wife Hannah. |
|
They raised up a son who could |
|
Eat his weight in groceries! |
|
They named him after a man of cloth |
|
Called him Amos Moses. |
|
His name is Amos Moses |
|
Amos Amos Amos Moses |
