Yeah here comes Amos...

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun...
he lived by himself in the swamp...
He hunted alligators for a livin'...
he'd just knock 'em in the head with a stump...
The Louisiana law's gonna get you Amos...
It ain't legal huntin' alligators
down in the swamp boy...

Now ev'rybody 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 waist
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 the man of the cloth
called him Amos Moses... Yeah... ha.. ha..

Now 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 him ha.. ha.. ha..
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow...

Well the sheriff got wind
that Amos was in the swamp
trappin' alligator skins
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
Well you can sure get lost in a 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 the man of the cloth
called him Amos Moses... Yeah... ha.. ha..

Said I don't know no Amos... make it count son...
About forty five minutes
southeast of Thibodaux Louisiana...
Lived a cat called Doc Milsap
and his pretty wife Hannah...
