Yeah

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
