Amos Moses - Cross Canadian Ragweed

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 It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
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
Alligator bait in the
Louisiana bayou
Chorus About forty-five minutes south of
Thibadoux
Louisiana
Lived a cat named
Doc Milsap and his pretty wife
Hanna Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him
Amos Moses
Everybody in south
Louisiana
Said Amos was a helluva man
He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand
That's all he got left cause a alligator bit it
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
Well the sheriff caught wind of
Amos In the swamp trappin alligator skins
That sheriff went lookin for
Amos Boy you know he never come out again
I wonder where the
Louisiana sheriff went to
You can sure get lost in the
Louisiana bayou
Chorus Chorus
