Lyrics GTA - Jerry Reed - Amos Moses

Yeah
Here comes Amos

Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by his self in the swamp
He hunted alligator for livin'
He just knock 'em in the head with a stump
"The Louisiana law gone gitcha, 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 him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist
And throw 'em in the swamp
Ha-ha haa
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife, Hannah
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named 'im after a man of the cloth
Called 'im Amos Moses

Yeah
Ha-ha

Now, 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, 'cause da alligator bit it
Ha-ha-ha
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well, the sheriff got wind at Amos
Was in the swamp trackin' 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
Heh-heh
Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou

About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana
Lived a cat called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife, Hannah
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named 'im after a man of the cloth
called 'im Amos Moses

Sit down on 'em, Amos
Make it count, son

About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife, Hannah
