Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for a livin'
He just knock them in the head with a stomp

Louisiana law gonna getcha Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligator
Down in the swamp now

Well, everyone 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 â€~round his neck and chuck him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana
Lived a man named Doc Milsap
And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could
Eat his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of cloth
Called him Amos Moses

Now the folks around South Louisiana
Said 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, clean 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 came out again

Whoa, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to?
Now you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana
Lived a cat named Doc Milsap and his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could
Eat his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of cloth
Called him Amos Moses

Sit down on â€~em Amos

About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana
Lived a cat named Doc Milsap
And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could
Eat his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of cloth
Called him Amos Moses

His name is Amos Moses
Amos, Amos, Amos Moses
