Amos Moses
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun he lived by himself in the swampHe haunted alligators for a livin' he just knock 'em in the head with a stumpThe Louisiana law's gonna get ya AmosIt ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boyNow everybody blames his old man for makin' him mean as a snakeWhen Amos Moses was a boy his daddy would use him for alligator baitTie a rope around his waist throw him in the swampAlligator bait in the Louisiana bayouAbout forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe LouisianaLive a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife HannahWell they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groc'riesNamed him after the man of the cloth called him Amos MosesNow folks around south Louisiana said Amos was a hell of a manHe could trap the biggest the meanest alligator and just use only one handThat's all he got left cause the alligator bit himLeft arm gone clean up to the elbowWell the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skinsSo he snook in the swamp gonna get the boy but he never come out againWell I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went toWell you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayouAbout forty five minutesAbout forty five minutes
