Amos Moses Lyrics - Artist : Alabama 3
Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in a swamp Hunting alligators for a livin' Hit them on the head with a stump Louisiana laws are goin' to get you Amos It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp, boy Now some people blamed his old man For treatin' him mean as a snake When Amos Moses was a boy His daddy would use him for alligator bait Tie a loop around his waist And throw him in the swamp Alligator bait on the Louisiana Bayou Just about forty-five minutes off the Eastern tip of ol' Louisiana There lived a man named Darkness Seth an' his pretty wife Anna They raised up a child who could eat up his weight in groceries They named him after a man of the cross; they called him Amos Moses The folk 'round South Louisiana They said that Amos was a terrible man He could trap the biggest, meanest alligators He only had to use one hand The other one's gone 'cos an alligator took it Left arm gone clean up to the elbow Just about forty-five minutes off the Eastern tip of ol' Louisiana There lived a man named Darkness Seth an' his pretty wife Anna They raised up a child who could eat up his weight in groceries They named him after a man of the cross; they called him Amos Moses Here comes Amos now Now there came around a Louisiana Sheriff Says "I'm gonna bag me that man He's the biggest, meanest, alligator hunter An' I'm gonna bag him if I can" The Louisiana Sheriff came into the Bayou But he never came home again Just about forty-five minutes off the Eastern tip of ol' Louisiana There lived a man named Darkness Seth an' his pretty wife Anna They raised up a child who could eat up his weight in groceries They named him after a man of the cross; they called him Amos Moses They named him after a man of the cross; they called him Amos Moses They named him after a man of the cross; they called him Amos Moses They named him after a man of the cross; they called him Amos Moses |
