Karaoke Amos Moses Jerry Reed

Yeah here comes Amos

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun he lived by himself in the swamp

He hunted alligators for livin' he'd just knock 'em in the head with a stump

The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos

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

Now everybody blames his old man

For makin' him mean as a snake

When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy would use him for alligator bait

Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp ha ha ha

Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

About forty five minutes southeast of

Thibodaux Louisiana

Lived a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah

Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries

Named him after the man of the cloth called him Amos Moses

Yeah ha ha

Now 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 'cos alligator bit him ha ha ha

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins

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, ha ha

Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou

About forty five minutes southeast of

Thibodaux Louisiana

Lived a cat called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah

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

Sit down on 'em Amos make it count son

About forty five minutes southeast of

Thibodaux Louisiana

Lived a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
