Hank Williams Jr.
"Amos Moses"

Spoken: Here come Amos

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun,
He lived by himself in the swamp.
He hunted alligator for a living,
He just knock them in the head with a stump!

Louisiana law's gonna getcha Amos!
It ain't legal huntin alligator
Down in the swamp now!

Well everyone blamed his old man,
For making him mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy,
His Daddy would use him for alligator bait.

Tie a rope around his neck and chuck him in the swamp.
Alligator bait in a Louisiana bayou!
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibido Louisiana.
Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap
And his pretty wife Hannah.
They raised up a son who could
Eat his weight in groceries!
They named him after a man of cloth,
Called him Amos Moses.

Now the folks around South Louisiana,
Thought Amos was a hell of a man.
He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator,
And just use one hand.
That's all he got left
Cause an alligator bit it!
Left arm gone, 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?
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou!
About 45 minutes southeast of Tibido Louisiana.
Lived a cat named Doc Mill Sap
And his pretty wife Hannah.
They raised up a son who could
Eat his weight in groceries!
They named him after a man of cloth
Called him Amos Moses.

Sit down on em Amos!

About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana.
Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap
And his pretty wife Hannah.
They raised up a son who could
Eat his weight in groceries!
They named him after a man of cloth
Called him Amos Moses.

His name is Amos Moses
