Chords
[Intro]
A7Yeah, here comes Amos
[Verse 1]
Now A7Amos Moses was a Cajun
He B7lived by himself in the D7swamp
He hunted alligator for a living
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
The A7Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy
[Verse 2]
Now A7everyone blamed his old man
For B7making him mean as a D7snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a A7rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
About Efortyfive minutes southeastD7 of Thibodaux, LouisiaA7na
Lived a Eman called Doc Mills D7South and his pretty wife A7Hannah
Well, they Eraised up a son that could Ceat up his weight in groceDries
[Bridge]
D7Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses,A7 yeah
[Verse 3]
Now the A7folks around south Louisiana
Said AB7mos was a hell of a man D7
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And he'd just use one hand
That's allA7 he got left 'cause an alligator bit it
Left arm gone clear up to the elbow
[Verse 4]
Well the A7sheriff caught wind that Amos was in the B7swamp trapping alligator D7skin
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
But he never come out again
Well I A7wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
About Efortyfive minutes southeastD7 of Thibodaux, LouisiaA7na
Lived a Eman called Doc Mills D7South and his pretty wife A7Hannah
Well, they Eraised up a son that could Ceat up his weight in groceDries
[Bridge]
D7Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses
A7 Sit down on 'em Amos!
Make it count son
[Fade Out]
About Efortyfive minutes southeastD7 of Thibodaux, LouisiaA7na
