A7

YEAH HERE COMES AMOS

NOW AMOS MOSES WAS A CAJUN

B7 D7

HE LIVED BY HIMSELF IN THE SWAMP

HE 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

A7

NOW EVERYONE BLAMED HIS OLD MAN

B7 D7

FOR MAKING HIM MEAN AS A SNAKE

WHEN AMOS MOSES WAS A BOY

HIS DADDY WOULD USE HIM FOR ALLIGATOR BAIT

A7

TIE A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK AND THROW HIM IN THE SWAMP

ALLIGATOR MAN IN THE LOUISIANA BAYOU

B7

ABOUT FORTY-FIVE MINUTES SOUTH OF TIPPITOE LOUISIANA

A

LIVED A MAN CALLED DR. MILLS SOUTH AND HIS PRETTY WIFE HANNAH

E7 C A7

THEY RAISED UP A SON WHO COULD EAT HIS WEIGHT IN 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

LIVED A MAN CALLED DR. MILLS SOUTH AND HIS PRETTY WIFE HANNAH

E7 C A7

THEY RAISED UP A SON WHO COULD EAT HIS WEIGHT IN GROCERIES

I KNOW SON
