"Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed




Lyrics


Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by his self in the swamp
He hunted alligator for livin'
He just knocked 'em in the head with a stump

Louisiana law gonna get you Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
Now, everybody blamed his old man
For makin' him mean as a snake

When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy'd use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a cat named Doc Milsap, his pretty wife Hanna
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth, called him Amos Moses

Everybody in south Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man
He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand
That's all he got left 'cause a alligator bit it
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well, the Sheriff caught wind of Amos
In the swamp trappin' alligator skins
That Sheriff went lookin' for Amos
Boy, you know he never come out again

I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana Bayou

About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a cat named Doc Milsap, his pretty wife Hanna
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth, called him Amos Moses

About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a cat named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth, called him Amos Moses, so



"Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" by Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn




Lyrics


Hey, Louisiana woman
Mississippi man
We get together
Every time we can

The Mississippi River
Can't keep us apart
There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

See the alligators
All a waitin' nearby
Soon or later
They know I'm gonna try

When she waved
From the bank
Don't you know I know
It's goodbye fishin' line
See you while I go

With a Louisiana woman
Waitin' on the other side
The Mississippi River
Don't look so wide

Louisiana woman
Mississippi man
We get together
Every time we can

The Mississippi River
Can't keep us apart
There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

Well, I thought
I'd been loved but I never had
Till I was wrapped
In the arms of a Mississippi man

When he holds me close
It feels almost
Like another hurricane
Just ripped the coast

If he can't come to me
I'm gonna go to him
That Mississippi River
Lord, I'm gonna swim

Hey, Louisiana woman
Mississippi man
We get together
Every time we can

The Mississippi River
Can't keep us apart
There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

Well, Mississippi River
Lord, it's one mile wide
And I'm gotta get me
To the other side

Mississippi man
I'm losin' my mind
Gotta have your lovin'
One more time

I'm gonna jump in the river
And here I go
Too bad alligator
You swim too slow

Hey, Louisiana woman
Mississippi man
We get together
Every time we can

The Mississippi River
Can't keep us apart
There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heart

I hope you all enjoyed these songs, have fun!! :)
