[00:01.63]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
