Amos Moses

	Now Amos Moses was a
	Cajun He lived by his self in the swamp
	He hunted alligator for livin'
	He just knocked em' in the head with a stump
	Louisiana law gonna get you
	Amos It ain't legal huntin' alligators 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'd use him for alligator bait
	Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
	Alligator bait in the
	Louisiana bayou
	Chorus About forty-five minutes south of
	Thibadoux
	Louisiana
	Lived a cat named
	Doc Milsap and his pretty wife
	Hanna 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
	Everybody in south
	Louisiana
	Said Amos was a helluva man
	He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand
	That's all he got left cause a alligator bit it
	Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
	Well the sheriff caught wind of
	Amos In the swamp trappin alligator skins
	That sheriff went lookin for
	Amos Boy you know he never come out again
	I wonder where the
	Louisiana sheriff went to
	You can sure get lost in the
	Louisiana bayou
	Chorus Chorus
