Amos Moses Jerry Reed
YEAH HERE COMES AMOS
NOW AMOS MOSES WAS A CAJUN
HE [B7]LIVED BY HIMSELF IN THE [D7]SWAMP
HE HUNTED ALLIGATOR FOR A LIVING
HE'D JUST KNOCK THEM IN THE HEAD WITH A STUMP
THE [A7]LOUISIANA LAW GONNA GET YOU AMOS
IT AIN'T LEGAL HUNTING ALLIGATOR DOWN IN THE SWAMP BOY
NOW [A7]EVERYONE BLAMED HIS OLD MAN
FOR [B7]MAKING HIM MEAN AS A [D7]SNAKE
WHEN AMOS MOSES WAS A BOY
HIS DADDY WOULD USE HIM FOR ALLIGATOR BAIT
TIE A [A7]ROPE AROUND HIS NECK AND THROW HIM IN THE SWAMP
ALLIGATOR MAN IN THE LOUISIANA BAYOU
ABOUT [B7]FORTY-FIVE MINUTES SOUTH OF TIPPITOE LOUISIANA
LIVED A MAN CALLED DR. MILLS SOUTH AND HIS PRETTY WIFE H[A]ANNAH
THEY [E7]RAISED UP A SON WHO COULD [C]EAT HIS WEIGHT IN [A7]GROCERIES
(Named him after a man of the cloth called him amos moses)… spoken
NOW THE FOLKS AROUND SOUTH LOUISIANA
SAID AMOS WAS A HELL OF A MAN
HE COULD TRAP THE BIGGEST MEANEST ALLIGATOR
AND HE'D JUST USE ONE HAND
THAT'S ALL HE GOT LEFT CAUSE AN ALLIGATOR BIT IT
LEFT ARM GONE CLEAR UP TO THE ELBOW
WELL THE SHERIFF CAUGHT WIND THAT AMOS WAS UP IN THE SWAMP
TRADING ALLIGATOR SKINS
SO HE SNUCK IN THE SWAMP GONNA GET THE BOY
BUT HE NEVER CAME OUT
WELL I WONDER WHERE THE LOUISIANA SHERIFF WENT TO
WELL YOU CAN SURE GET LOST IN THE LOUISIANA BAYOU
ABOUT [B7]FORTY-FIVE MINUTES SOUTH OF TIPPITOE LOUISIANA
LIVED A MAN CALLED DR. MILLS SOUTH AND HIS PRETTY WIFE H[A]ANNAH
THEY [E7]RAISED UP A SON WHO COULD [C]EAT HIS WEIGHT IN [A7]GROCERIES
