Primus Lyrics
"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)
