Amos Moses - Jerry Reed |
| [00:07.89] |
Yeah here comes Amos |
| [00:12.14] |
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun |
| [00:14.32] |
He lived by himself in the swamp |
| [00:16.82] |
He hunted alligator for a living |
| [00:18.82] |
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump |
| [00:21.44] |
The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos |
| [00:23.76] |
|
| [00:25.78] |
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp boy |
| [00:30.42] |
Now everyone blamed his old man |
| [00:32.86] |
For making him mean as a snake |
| [00:35.04] |
When Amos Moses was a boy |
| [00:36.73] |
His daddy would use him for alligator bait |
| [00:39.14] |
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp |
| [00:44.33] |
Alligator man in the Louisiana bayou |
| [00:48.59] |
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana |
| [00:53.12] |
Lived a man called Dr Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah |
| [00:57.62] |
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries |
| [00:59.81] |
|
| [01:02.50] |
Named him after a man of the cloth |
| [01:04.94] |
Called him Amos Moses |
| [01:07.32] |
|
| [01:11.17] |
Now the folks around south Louisiana |
| [01:13.35] |
Said Amos was a hell of a man |
| [01:15.67] |
He could trap the biggest meanest alligator |
| [01:18.41] |
And he'd just use one hand |
| [01:20.29] |
That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it |
| [01:23.79] |
|
| [01:25.00] |
Left arm gone clear up to the elbow |
| [01:29.08] |
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp |
| [01:32.14] |
Trading alligator skins |
| [01:33.70] |
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy |
| [01:36.07] |
But he never came out |
| [01:37.94] |
Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to |
| [01:40.76] |
|
| [01:42.29] |
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou |
| [01:47.29] |
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana |
| [01:51.87] |
Lived a cat named Dr Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah |
| [01:56.36] |
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries |
| [01:58.55] |
|
| [02:01.29] |
Named him after a man of the cloth |
| [02:03.73] |
Called him Amos Moses |
| [02:06.05] |
I know son |
| [02:08.24] |
Make it count son |
| [02:09.80] |
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana |
