[A]
[G] [A] Yeah, here comes Amos.
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun.
He lived [D] by himself in the swamp.
He hunted alligators for a living.
He'd just knock them in the head with a stomp.
[G] [A] The Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos.
[G] [A] It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy.
Now everybody blamed his old man for making [D] him mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy, his daddy would use him for alligator bait.
[G] [A] Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp.
[G] [A] Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.
[D] [E] About 45 minutes southeast of [A] Tippet, old Louisiana,
[E] lived a man called Doc Millsap [A] and his pretty wife, Hannah.
[E] When they raised up a son, they [C] could eat up his bed and [D] grow friends.
[D] Named him after a man of the cloth.
Called him Amos Moses.
[A] Yeah.
[G] [A] Now all the folks around south Louisiana [B] said Amos was a [D] hell of a man.
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator and just use one [G] hand.
[A] That's all he got left called alligator bait.
Gone clean up to the elbow.
[G] [A] Well, the sheriff got wind that Amos [B] was in the swamp trapping [D] alligator skin.
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy, but he never come out again.
[A] Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to.
[Em] [A] Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou.
[D] [E] About 45 [D] minutes southeast of Tippet, [A] old Louisiana,
[E] lived a cat called Doc [D] Millsap and his pretty [A] wife, Hannah.
[E] When they raised up a son, [C] they could eat up his bed [D] and grow friends.
Named him after a man of the cloth.
Called him Amos Moses.
[A] Said, I know the man, Amos.
Make it count, [G] son.
About [E] [D] 45 minutes southeast of Tippet, old [A] Louisiana.
