My Name Is Earl movie - Amos Moses lyrics

rate me

Well Amos Moses was a Cajun,<br>

He lived by himself in the swamp.<br>

He hunted alligators for a livin,<br>

He just knocked 'em in the head with a stump.<br>

The Louisiana law gonna get ya Amos<br>

It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy<br>

<br>

Well everybody blames his old man,<br>

For makin' him mean as a snake,<br>

When Amos Moses was a boy<br>

His daddy would use him for alligator bait.<br>

Tie a rope around his neck, and throw him in the swamp,<br>

Alligator bit him in a Louisiana bayou<br>

<br>

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana<br>

Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna<br>

hey raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries,<br>

Named him after a man of the cloth,<br>

Called him Amos Moses<br>

<br>

Well, the folks around south Louisiana<br>

Said Amos was a hell of a man<br>

He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator<br>

And just use one hand<br>

That's all he's got left cause an alligator bit him<br>

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow<br>

<br>

Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos<br>

Was in the swamp huntin' alligator skins<br>

So he snuck in the swamp, gonna getcha boy,<br>

But he never come out again.<br>

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to?<br>

You can sure get lost in a Louisiana bayou!<br>

<br>

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana<br>

Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna<br>

They raised a son who could eat up his weight in groceries,<br>

Named him after a man of the cloth,<br>

Called him Amos Moses <br>
