_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, here comes [G] Amos.
_ Now Amos Moses was a Cajun.
He lived by [D] himself in the swamp.
He hunted alligators for a living.
He'd just knock them in the head with a [A] staff.
The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos.
_ _ _ It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy.
_ _ Now everybody blamed his old man for making him [D] mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy, his daddy would use him for alligator bait.

_ They named him after a man of the cloth.
Called him Amos Moses.
_ [A] Yeah. _
_ _ _ Now all the folks around south Louisiana said Amos was a [D] hell of a man.

[A] That's all he got in the Alcorn Alligator Bay.
_ _ _ _ Gone clean up to the elbow.
_ _ Well the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp trapping [D] alligator skin.
