Amos Moses Lyrics - Rhinoplasty - Primus

Amos Moses was a Cajun. 

And lived by himself in the swamp 

Hunting alligator for a living. 

Knock 'em on the head with a stump 

The Louisiana law's gonna get you, Amos 

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

Now everybody blamed his old man 

for raising him mean as a snake 

When Amos Moses was a boy, 

his Daddy would use him as alligator bait 

Tie a rope around his waist, 

throw him in the swamp 

Alligator bait on the Louisiana bayou

Just about 45 minutes 

southeast of Tipidow, Louisiana 

There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam 

and his pretty wife Hannah 

They raised up a son that could 

eat up his weight in groceries 

Named him after a man of the cloth. 

They called him Amos Moses 

Now folks in South Louisiana 

said Amos was a helluva man 

He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator. 

He only had to use one hand 

That's all he got left 

'cause the alligator bit him. Ha ha! 

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Just about 45 minutes

There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam 

and his pretty wife Hannah 

They raised up a son that could 

eat up his weight in groceries 

Named him after a man of the cloth. 

They called him Amos Moses 

Here comes Amos 

And you should have seen his pretty wife, Hannah 

Well, the Sheriff got wind that 

Amos was in the swamp hunting alligator skin 

So he hid in the swamp, I'm gonna get you boy. 

He never did come out again. 

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to? 

Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou (3X)
