1
Yeah, here comes Amos
2
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, he lived by himself in the swamp
3
He hunted alligator for a living
4
He used to knock 'em in the head with a stump
5
Louisiana law's gonna get you, Amos
6
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy
7
Now everybody blamed his old man for makin' him mean as a snake
8
When Amos Moses was a boy, his daddy would use him for alligator bait
9
Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp
10
The alligator man in the Louisiana bayou
11
About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
12
Lived a cat called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
13
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
14
Named him after a man of the cloth
15
They called him Amos Moses
16
Now folks around South Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man
17
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
18
He only had to use one hand
19
That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him
20
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
21
Now the Sheriff got wind of Amos was in the swamp trapping alligator skin
22
So he snuck in the swamp, "I'm gonna get you boy", but he never come out again
23
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to
24
You sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
25
About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
26
Lived a cat called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
27
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
28
Named him after a man of the cloth
29
They called him Amos Moses
30
Sit down on 'em Amos, make it count son
31
Get on boy
32
Here comes Amos
33
Yeah, you get on him boy, use your wit
