Cross Canadian Ragweed - Amos Moses lyrics

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun He lived by his self in the swamp He hunted alligator for livin' He just knocked em' in the head with a stump Louisiana law gonna get you Amos It ain't legal huntin' alligators 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'd use him for alligator bait Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou Chorus About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana Lived a cat named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna 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 Everybody in south Louisiana Said Amos was a helluva man He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand That's all he got left cause a alligator bit it Left arm gone clean up to the elbow Well the sheriff caught wind of Amos In the swamp trappin alligator skins That sheriff went lookin for Amos Boy you know he never come out again I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou Chorus Chorus
