Amos Moses Lyrics - The Essential Jerry Reed - Jerry Reed

Yeah here comes Amos 

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun 

He lived by himself in the swamp 

He hunted alligator for a living 

He'd just knock them in the head with a stump 

The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos 

It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp boy 

 

Now everyone 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 neck and throw him in the swamp 

Alligator man in the Louisiana bayou 

About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana 

Lived a man called Dr. Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah 

They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries 

Named him after a man of the cloth 

Called him Amos Moses 

 

Now the folks around south Louisiana 

Said Amos was a hell of a man 

He could trap the biggest meanest alligator 

And he'd just use one hand 

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

Left arm gone clear up to the elbow 

 

Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp 

Trading alligator skins 

So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy 

But he never came out 

Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to 

Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou 

About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana 

Lived a cat named Dr. Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah 

They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries 

Named him after a man of the cloth 

Called him Amos Moses
