Amos Moses - Hank Williams Jr.

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun

He lived by himself in the swamp

He hunted alligator for a living

He just knock them in the head with a stump

Louisiana law gonna get ya Amos

It ain’t legal huntin alligator

Down in the swamp now

Well everyone blamed his old man

For making him mean as a snake

When Amos Moses was a boy

His Daddy would use him for alligator bait

Time for?

and chokin in the swamp

Alligator babe in a Louisiana bayou

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodaux Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap

And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could

Eat his weight in groceries

They named him after a man of cloth

Called him Amos Moses

Now the folks around South Louisiana

Thought 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 the alligator bit it Left on gone, clean up to the elbow

Well the sheriff got wind that Amos

Was in the swamp hutnin alligator skin

So he snuck in the swamp

Tried to get the boy

And he never came out again

Well I wonder where the

Louisiana sheriff went too?

You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodaux Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap

And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could

Eat his weight in groceries

They named him after a man of cloth

Called him Amos Moses

Sit down on em Amos

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodaux Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Mill Sap

And his pretty white Hannah

They raised up a son who could

Eat his weight in groceries

They named him after a man of cloth

Called him Amos Moses

His name is Amos Moses
