He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for a living
He'd just knock them
in the head with a stump
It ain't legal hunting alligator down
in the swamp, boy

For making him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him

and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

Was in the swamp trapping alligator skin
So he snuck in the swamp to gon'
