Primus "Amos Moses" |
Well Amos Moses was a Cajun. He lived by himself in the swamp He Hunted alligator for a living. Knock 'em in the head with a stomp 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 bout 45 minutes southeast of Tipidoe, Louisiana lived a man called Doc Milsap 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 around South Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator. and just use one hand That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him. Ha ha! Left arm gone clean up to the elbow about 45 minutes southeast of Tipidoe, Louisiana There lived a man called Doc Milsap 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 trappin alligator skin So he hid in the swamp, "I'm gonna get you boy." but he never come out again. Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to? well you can Sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou (3X) Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
