It ain't legal huntin' alligator 
 D                 G
down in the swamp now


Well everyone blamed his ol' man
For makin' him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy, his daddy
Would use him for alligator bait

Tie a rope around his neck and choke
 him in the swamp
Yeah, alligator bait in the 
Louisiana Bayou.

pretty wife Hanna
     D                             
They raised up a son who could eat 
              C
his weight in grocerieeees

Spoken: Named him after a man of the
 cloth, called him Amos Moses


Now the folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a helluva man
He could trap the biggest, meanest 
alligator
And just use one hand
That's all he got left 'cause the 
alligator bit it hahaha
Left arm gone clean up 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, wonder where the Louisiana 
sheriff went to
Now you can sure get lost in the 
Louisiana bayou
