Primus Amos Moses

Well Amos Moses was a Cajun.

He lived by himself in the swamp

He Hunted alligator for a living.

Knock 'em in the head with a stomp

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

bout 45 minutes

southeast of Tipidoe, Louisiana

lived a man called Doc Milsap

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 around South Louisiana

said Amos was a helluva 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!

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

about 45 minutes

southeast of Tipidoe, Louisiana

There lived a man called Doc Milsap

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

Here comes Amos

And you should have seen his pretty wife, Hannah

Well, the Sheriff got wind that

Amos was in the swamp trappin alligator skin

So he hid in the swamp, "I'm gonna get you boy."

but he never come out again.

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to?

well you can Sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou (3X)
