Here come Amos
GNow Amos Moses was a Cajun 
He Alived by himself in the Cswamp 
He Chunted alligators for a livin' 
He just Cknock 'em in the head with a Gstomp 
GLouisiana law gonna getcha Amos 
It ain't Glegal huntin' alligator Ddown in the swamp Gnow 
Well everyone blamed his ol' 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 neck and choke him in the swamp 
Yeah, alligator bait in the Louisiana Bayou. 
Bridge: 
About D45 minutes southCeast of Thibodaux LouiGsiana 
Live a Dman named Doc MilCsap and pretty wife GHanna 
They Draised up a son who could eat his weight in Cgrocerieeees 
Spoken: Named him after a man of the cloth, called him Amos Moses 
Now the folks around south Louisiana  
Said Amos was a helluva man 
He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator  
And just use one hand 
That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit it hahaha 
Left arm gone clean up 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 come out again 
Well, wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to 
Now you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou

He lived by himself in the swamp

He hunted alligators for a livin'

He just knock 'em in the head with a stomp

Louisiana law gonna getcha Amos

G D G

It ain't legal huntin' alligator down in the swamp now

Well everyone blamed his ol' man

Live a man named Doc Milsap and pretty wife Hanna

D C

They raised up a son who could eat his weight in grocerieeees

Spoken: Named him after a man of the cloth, called him Amos Moses

Now the folks around south Louisiana

Said Amos was a helluva man

He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator

And just use one hand

That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit it hahaha

Left arm gone clean up 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 come out again

Well, wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to

Now you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
