Amos Moses Les Claypool's Duo De Twang

Amos Moses was a Cajun
And lived by himself in the swamp
Hunting alligator for a living
Knock 'em on the head with a stump
The Louisiana law's gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy

Now everybody blamed his old man
For raising him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His Daddy would use him as alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist
Throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait on the Louisiana bayou

Just about 45 minutes
Southeast of Tipidow, Louisiana
There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam
And his pretty wife Hannah
They raised up a son that could
Eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
They called him Amos Moses

Now folks in South Louisiana
Said Amos was a helluva man
