Текст песни "Jerry Reed — Amos Moses (1970)"

Yeah!
Here comes Amos!

Now Amos Moses was a cajun,
He lived by himself in the swamp,
He hunted alligator for a livin',
Just knock 'em in the head with a stump.
The Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos.
It ain't legal huntin' alligator 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 would use his for alligator bait.
Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp.
Aliigator bait in the Louisiana bayou!

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Dr. Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah.
Well, they raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth.
Called him Amos Moses.

Now all the 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 cuz the alligator bit it.
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.

Well, the Sheriff got wind that Amos
Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skin
So he snuck in the swamp, gonna get the 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!

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a cat called Dr. Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah.
Well, they raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth.
Called him Amos Moses.

Set out on 'em Amos
Make it count, Son

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana
Lived a man called Dr. Milsap...
