Amos Moses Lyrics - Singles - Cross Canadian Ragweed

Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun 

He lived by his self in the swamp 

He hunted alligator for livin' 

He just knocked 'em in the head with a stump 

Louisiana law gonna get you Amos 

It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy 

Now, everybody blamed his old man 

For makin' him mean as a snake 

When Amos Moses was a boy 

His daddy'd use him for alligator bait 

Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp 

Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou 

About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana 

Lived a cat named Doc Milsap, his pretty wife Hanna 

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 

Everybody in south Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man 

He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand 

That's all he got left 'cause a alligator bit it 

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow 

Well, the Sheriff caught wind of Amos 

In the swamp trappin' alligator skins 

That Sheriff went lookin' for Amos 

Boy, you know he never come out again 

I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to 

You can sure get lost in the Louisiana Bayou 

About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana 

Lived a cat named Doc Milsap, his pretty wife Hanna 

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 

About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana 

Lived a cat named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna 

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, so
