_ _ _ _ Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, [B] he lived by [D] himself in the swamp, he hunted alligators for a living.
He just knocked them in the head with a [A] stomp.
The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos.
_ [G] _ [E] It ain't [A] legal to hunt in the swamp boy.
_ Now everybody blames this old [B] man for making him [D] mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy would use him for alligator bait.
[A] Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp.
_ [G] He [A] _ made it in the Louisiana Bayou.
_ [E] About 45 minutes southeast of [A] Pimpedale, Louisiana, _ _ [E] lived a man called Doc Mills.
[A] Man he's pretty wise.
_ _ [E] Well he raised up a son [C] that could eat up his [D] bread and grow grass.
_ Named him after a man of the clock, called him Amos Moses.
_ [A] _ Now _ _ _ _ all the folks around south Louisiana said Amos was [D] a hell of a man.
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator.
And he's using one [G] hand, [A] that's all he got left called alligator bait.
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ Gonna clean up to the elbow.
_ Well the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp trapping [D] alligator skin.
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy, but he never come out again.
[G] [A] Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to.
_ [Em] _ [A] Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana Bayou.
[G] _ _ [B] [E] About 45 minutes southeast [A] of Pimpedale, Louisiana, _ _ [E] lived a cat called Doc [D] Mills.
South and his pretty [A] wife Hannah.
_ _ [E] Well he raised up [C] a son that could eat up [D] his bread and grow grass.
_ Named him after a man of the [D] clock, called him Amos Moses.
[A] So now all the neighbors make [G] it count son.
[E] About 45 [D] minutes southeast of [A] Pimpedale, Louisiana, _ [E] lived a man called [D] Doc Mills.
South and his [A] pretty wife Hannah.
