[Intro]
D7 A7
[Verse 1]
A7 Now Amos Moses was a Cajun B7 D7 He lived by himself in the swamp D7 He haunted alligators for a livin' D7 He just knock 'em in the head with a stump
[Verse 2]
A7 The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos A7 It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy A7 Now everybody blames his old man B7 D7 For makin' him mean as a snake D7 When Amos Moses was a boy D7 His daddy would use him for alligator bait A7 Tie a rope around his waist throw him in the swamp A7 Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
E7 D7 A7 About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana E7 D7 A7 Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah E7 Well, they raised up a son C7 D7 That could eat up his weight in groc'ries D7 Named him aftеr the man of the cloth A7 Called him Amos Mosеs
[Verse 3]
A7 Now folks around south Louisiana B7 D7 Said Amos was a hell of a man D7 He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator D7 And just use only one hand A7 That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him A7 Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
[Verse 4]
A7 Well, the sheriff got wind B7 D7 That Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins D7 So he snook in the swamp D7 Gonna get the boy but he never come out again A7 Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to A7 Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
E7 D7 A7 About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana E7 D7 A7 Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah E7 Well, they raised up a son C7 D7 That could eat up his weight in groc'ries D7 Named him aftеr the man of the cloth A7 Called him Amos Mosеs E7 D7 A7 About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana E7 D7 A7 Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah E7 Well, they raised up a son C7 D7 That could eat up his weight in groc'ries D7 Named him aftеr the man of the cloth A7 Called him Amos Mosеs
