Lyrics

Yeah Here comes Amos Now Amos Moses was a cajon He lived by himself in the swamp He hunted alligator for a livin' Just knock 'em in the head with a stump The Lousisana law gonna get you, Amos It ain't legal huntin' alligator 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 would use his for alligator bait Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp Aliigator bait in the Lousisana bayou About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah Well, they raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries Named him after a man of the cloth Called him Amos Moses Now all the folks around south Louisiana Said Amos was a hell of a man He could trap the biggest The meanest alligator And just use one hand That's all he got left cuz the alligator bit it Left arm gone clean up to the elbow Well, the Sheriff got wind that Amos Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skin So he snuck in the swamp, gonna get the boy But he never come out again Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to Well, You can sure get lost in the Louisiana Bayou About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana Lived a cat called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah Well, they raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries Named him after a man of the cloth Called him Amos Moses Set out on 'em Amos Make it count, Son About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana Lived a man called Doc Milsap...
