Now Amos Moses was a Cajun He lived by his self in the swamp
He hunted alligator for livin'

He just knocked em' in the head with a stump
Louisiana law gonna get you Amos (Play Riff)
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy (Play Riff)
A Bm D
Now everybody blamed his old man For makin' him mean as a snake

When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy'd use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp (Play Riff)
