Intro 1
(A major) (A major)
(A major) Yeah, here comes Amos
Verse 1
Now (A major) Amos Moses was a Cajun
He (B major) lived by himself in the (D major) swamp
He hunted alligator for a living
He'd just knock them
in the head with a stump
The (A major) Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down
in the swamp, boy

Verse 2
Now (A major) everyone blamed his old man
For (B major) making him mean as a (D major) snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him
for alligator bait
Tie a (A major) rope around his base
and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
Bridge 1
About (E major) forty-five minutes
southeast (D major) of Thibodaux, Louisi (A major) ana
Lived a (E major) man called Doc Mill (D major) sap
and his pretty wife (A major) Hannah
Well, they (E major) raised up a son
that could (C major) eat up his weight in groceries (D major)
(D major) Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses
(A major) (A major)
Verse 3
Now the (A major) folks from down south Louisiana
Said Amos (B major) was a hell of a man (D major)
He could trap the biggest,
the meanest alligator
And he'd just use one hand
That's all (A major) he got left
'cause an alligator bit it
Left arm gone clear up to the elbow
Verse 4
Well the (A major) sheriff caught wind that Amos
Was in the (B major) swamp trapping alligator (D major) skin
So he snuck in the swamp to gon'
and get the boy
But he never come out again
Well, I (A major) wonder
where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well, you can sure get lost
in the Louisiana bayou
Outro 1
About (E major) forty-five minutes
southeast (D major) of Thibodaux, Louisi (A major) ana
Lived a (E major) cat called Doc Mill (D major) sap
and his pretty wife (A major) Hannah
Well, they (E major) raised up a son
that could (C major) eat up his weight in groceries (D major)
(D major) Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses
(A major) Sit down on 'em Amos!
Make it count son
[Repeat and fade]
