Lyrics

Yeah, here comes Amos
 Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun
 He lived by hisself in the swamp
 He hunted alligator for living
 He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
 The Louisiana law gon' get you Amos
 It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy
 Now everybody blamed his old man
 For making him mean as a snake
 When Amos Moses was a boy
 His daddy would use him for alligator bait
 Tie a rope around his waist
 And throw him in the swamp
 Alligator man in the Louisiana bayou
 About 45 minutes southeast of Tippitoe Louisiana
 Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah
 Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
 Named him after a man of the cloth
 Called him Amos Moses, yeah
 Now the folks around south Louisiana
 Said Amos was a hell of a man
 He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
 And just use one hand
 That's all he got left 'cause alligator bit it
 Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow
 Well, the sheriff caught wind that Amos
 Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
 So he snuck in the swamp, gonna get the 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
 About 45 minutes southeast of Tippitoe Louisiana
 Lived a cat called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah
 Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
 Named him after a man of the cloth
 Called him Amos Moses
 Set out on 'em Amos
 Make it count, son
 About 45 minutes southeast of Tippitoe Louisiana
 Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah
