Hank Williams Jr - Amos Moses lyrics

Artist/Band: Williams Hank Jr

Lyrics for Song: Amos Moses

Lyrics for Album: I'm One of You

Spoken: Here come Amos

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun

He lived by hisself in the swamp

He hunted alligator for a livin'

He just knock them in the head with a stomp

Louisiana law gonna getcha Amos

It ain't legal huntin' alligator

Down in the swamp now

Well everyone blamed 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 ‘round his neck and chuck ‘im in the swamp

Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Milsap

And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could

Eat his weight in groceries

Named him after a man of cloth

Called him Amos Moses

Now the folks around South Louisiana

Said Amos was a hell of a man

He could trap the biggest meanest alligator

And just use one hand

That's all he got left

Cause an alligator bit it

Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow

Well the sheriff got wind that Amos

Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skin

So he snuck in the swamp

Gonna get the boy

But he never come out again

Whoa! I wonder where the

Louisiana sheriff went to?

Now you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou

About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana

Lived a cat named Doc Milsap

And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could

Eat his weight in groceries

Named him after a man of cloth

Called him Amos Moses

Sit down on ‘em Amos

About 45 minutes southeast of Tibado Louisiana

Lived a cat named Doc Milsap

And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could

Eat his weight in groceries

Named him after a man of cloth

Called him Amos Moses

His name is Amos Moses
