[Verse 1]
A7 B7
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun. He lived by himself in the swamp. He
D7
hunted alligator for a living. He'd just knock them in the head with a stump.
A7
The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos. It ain't legal hunting alligator down
in the swamp boy.
[Verse 2]
A7 B7
Now everyone blamed his old man for making him mean as a snake. When
D7 A7
Amos Moses was a boy His daddy would use him for alligator bait. Tie a rope
around his neck and throw him in the swamp. Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.
[Chorus]
E D7 A7 E
About forty-five minutes south of Thibodeaux Louisiana, Lived a man called
D7 A7 E7 C
Dr. Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah. They raised up a son who could eat his
D7
weight in groceries. (Named him after a man of the cloth called him Amos Moses)
[Verse 3]
A7 B7
Now the folks around south Louisiana, said Amos was a hell of a man.
D7
He could trap the biggest meanest alligator and he'd just use one hand. That's
A7
all he got left cause an alligator bit it. Left arm gone clear up to the elbow.
[Verse 4]
A7 B7
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp trading
D7
skins. So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy, but he never came out again.
A7
I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to. Well you can sure get lost in the
Louisiana
[Chorus]
