Amos Moses was a Cajun
And lived by himself in the swamp
Hunting alligator for a living.
Knock 'em on the head with a stump
The Louisiana law's gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy

Now everybody blamed his old man
For raising him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy,
His Daddy would use him as alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist,
Throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait on the Louisiana bayou

Just about 45 minutes
Southeast of Tipidow, Louisiana
There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam
And his pretty wife Hannah
They raised up a son that could
Eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth.
They called him Amos Moses

Now folks in South Louisiana
Said Amos was a helluva man
He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator.
He only had to use one hand
That's all he got left
'Cause the alligator bit him. Ha ha!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Just about 45 minutes
Southeast of Tipidow, Louisiana
There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam
And his pretty wife Hannah
They raised up a son that could
Eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth.
They called him Amos Moses

Here comes Amos
And you should have seen his pretty wife, Hannah

Well, the Sheriff got wind that
Amos was in the swamp hunting alligator skin
So he hid in the swamp, "I'm gonna get you boy."
He never did come out again

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to?
Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou
