AMOS MOSES
JERRY REED

VERSE 1:
     A7
-8   8 7  7  7  -6  6 7 7
Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun,
   B7                    D7
7  -8    -8 -8 -8   -8 7 8
he lived by himself in a swamp;

8  9  9   8b 8b 7 7  7  -6 7  7
He hunted alligators for a living,

7    -5     -5 -5 -5  -5   6    6 5b
just knock 'em in the head with a stump;
    A7
-6  6    6 -6 -6 7     7  7  -8  -6  7 7  8
The Louis-i-an-a law's gonna get ya, Amos;-

-10# -10#  -10# 9 9   9   9 9 9  9
 It  ain't leg-al hunting alligators 

-9   -9 9   8      7
down in the swamp, boy;

VERSE 2:
Now everybody blames his old man
for making him mean as a snake;
When Amos Moses was a boy,
his Daddy would use him for alligator bait;


CHORUS:
      B7          
7 7   -8 -8   -8   -8 -8   8       -9
About forty - five minutes south - east
                       A7
8  -9  8  -9   -9   -9 8  7
of Tip-pi-doe, Louis-i-an-a

-8  -8 -8  -8     -8  8   -8
live a man called Doc Millsap
                    A
7   7   6   6  -5   5   7
and his pretty wife Hannah;
           E7
7     7    -8     -8 -8 -8
Well, they raised up a son
           C                    A7
-8   -8    8b  8b 8b  -9    -9  9    7
that could eat up his weight in groceries;


Spoken: Named him after the cloth - called him
Amos Moses

VERSE 3:
Now the folks around south Louisiana
said Amos was a Hell of a man;
He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator,
and just use one hand;
That's all he got left, 'cause the alligator bit
him,
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.

VERSE 4:
Well, the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the
swamp trapping alligator skins
So he snook in the swamp gonna get the boy but he
never come out again
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
(CHORUS)
