Amos Moses Lyrics

Amos Moses was a Cajun. And lived by himself in the swamp
Hunting alligator for a living. Knock
'em on the head with a stump
The Louisiana law's gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator
Down in the swamp, boy
Now everybody blamed his old man for raising him mean as a snake
When Amos
Moses was a boy, his Daddy would use him as alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist, throw him

In the swamp
Alligator bait on the Louisiana bayou
Chorus:
Just about 45 minutes southeast
Of Tipidow, Louisiana
There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam and his pretty wife Hannah
They
Raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth. They
Called him Amos Moses
Now folks in South Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man
He could trap the
Biggest, meanest alligator. He only had to use one hand
That's all he got left 'cause the alligator
Bit him. Ha ha!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
Chorus
Here comes Amos
And you should have
Seen his pretty wife, Hannah
Well, the Sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp hunting alligator
Skin
So he hid in the swamp, "I'm gonna get you boy."
He never did come out again.
Well, I wonder
Where the Louisiana Sheriff went to?
Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
Well, I wonder
Where the Louisiana Sheriff went to?
Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
Well, I wonder
Where the Louisiana Sheriff went to?
Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
