Key : A
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A7
Yeah, here comes Amos

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    A7
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
   B7                      D7
He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for a living
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
    A7
The Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    A7
Now everyone blamed his old man
    B7                   D7
For making him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
      A7
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

[Chorus]
---------------------
      E                          D7                     A7
About fortyfive minutes southeast  of Thibodaux, Louisiana
        E                  D7                     A7
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah
           E                          C                         D
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries

[Bridge (1)]
---------------------
D7
Named him after a man of the cloth
                      A7
Called him Amos Moses,  yeah

[Verse 3]
---------------------
        A7
Now the folks around south Louisiana
      B7                     D7
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And he'd just use one hand
          A7
That's all  he got left 'cause an alligator bit it
Left arm gone clear up to the elbow

[Verse 4]
---------------------
         A7                                       B7                       D7
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was in the swamp trapping alligator skin
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
But he never come out again
       A7
Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou



[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
D7
Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses
A7
  Sit down on 'em Amos!
Make it count son

[Fade Out]
---------------------
      E                          D7                     A7
About fortyfive minutes southeast  of Thibodaux, Louisiana
        E                  D7
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife
