Amos Moses Jerry Reed
[Verse 1]
N[A7]ow Amos Moses was a Cajun. He l[B7]ived by himself in the swamp. He
[D7]hunted alligator for a living. He'd just knock them in the head with a stump.
[A7]The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos. It ain't legal hunting alligator down
in the swamp boy.
[Verse 2]
N[A7]ow everyone blamed his old man for m[B7]aking him mean as a snake. When
A[D7]mos Moses was a boy His daddy would use him for alligator bait. Tie a r[A7]ope
around his neck and throw him in the swamp. Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.

About f[E]orty-five minutes south of T[D7]hibodeaux[A7] Louisiana, Lived a[E] man called
Dr. Mills [D7]South and his pretty wife [A7]Hannah. They [E7]raised up a son who could [C]eat his
weight in [D7]groceries. (Named him after a man of the cloth called him Amos Moses)
[Verse 3]
Now[A7] the folks around south Louisiana, said Amo[B7]s was a hell of a man.
He could [D7]trap the biggest meanest alligator and he'd just use one hand. That's
[A7]all he got left cause an alligator bit it. Left arm gone clear up to the elbow.
[Verse 4]
W[A7]ell the sheriff caught wind that Amos was u[B7]p in the swamp trading
skins. So he [D7]snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy, but he never came out again.
I [A7]wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to. Well you can sure get lost in the
Louisiana
