Now, A-mos Mos-es was a Ca-jun
He lived by him-self in the swamp.
He hunt-ed al-li-ga-tors for a liv-in'
Just knock 'em in the head with a stump.
The Loui-si-an-a law's
gon-na get you, A-mos!
It ain't le-gal hunt-in' al-li-ga-tors
down in the swamp, boy!
Now, ev-'ry-bod-y blames his old man
For mak-in' him mean as a snake.
When A-mos Mos-es was a boy,
His Dad-dy would use him
for al-li-ga-tor bait.
Tie a rope a-round his waist
throw him in the swamp!
Al-li-ga-tor bait in the
Loui-si-an-a bay-ou
A-bout for-ty-five min-utes
South-east of Thi-bo-daux, Loui-si-an-a
Live a man called Doc Mill-sap
and his pret-ty wife Han-nah.
Well, they raised up a son that could
eat up his weight in gro-c'ries.
