(Jerry Reed Hubbard)      Now Amos Moses was a Cajun    He lived by himself in the swamp   He haunted alligators for a livin'    He just knock 'em in the head with a stump.      The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos   It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy   Now everybody blames 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 throw him in the swamp   Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.      About forty five minutes southeast of Thibadeaux, Louisiana   Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah   Well, they raised up a son    That could eat up his weight in groc'ries   Named him after the man of the cloth    Called him Amos Moses.      --- Instrumental ---      Now folks around south Louisiana    Said Amos was a hell of a man   He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator    And just use only one hand.   That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him   Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.      Well, the sheriff got wind    That Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins   So he snook in the swamp    Gonna get the boy but he never come out again.      Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to   Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou   About forty five minutes.      About forty five minutes...
