Now [A7]Amos Moses was a []Cajun. He [B7]lived by his self in the []swamp.
 [D7]He hunted alligator for []livin. He just []knock 'em in the head with a []stump.
The [A7]Lousisana law gonna []get you Amos! []It ain't legal huntin alligator []down in the swamp boy![][]

Now [A7]everybody blamed his []old man for [B7]makin him mean as a []snake.
When [D7]Amos Moses was a []boy his Daddy would []use him for alligator []bait.
Tie a [A7]rope around his neck, []throw him in the swamp. []Alligator bait in the []Lousisana Bayou.[][]

	About [E7]forty-five minutes south[D7]east of Thibodeaux, Lousisi[A7]ana[]
	[E7]Lived a man called Doc Mil[D7]sap and his pretty wife [A7]Hanna.[]
	Well they [E7]raised up a son who could [C]eat up his weight in [D7]groceries.[]
	[A7]Named him after a []man of the cloth. []Called him Amos []Moses.[][]

Now the [A7]folks around south Louisi[]ana. Said [B7]Amos was a hell of a []man.
He could [D7]trap the biggest, the []meanest alligator, []and just use one []hand.
 [A7]That's all he got left cuz []alligator bit it! []Left arm gone clean []up to the elbow![][::29::]

Well the [A7]Sheriff got wind that []Amos was in the [B7]swamp tracking alligator []skin.
