Amos Moses - Jerry Reed
埃莫斯摩西- 傑瑞·里德
Yeah here comes Amos
是的，這是埃莫斯
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
埃莫斯摩西是一個路易斯安那州人
He lived by himself in the swamp
他獨自居住在沼澤
He hunted alligator for a living
他以狩獵鱷魚為生
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
他只需要用樹枝敲鱷魚的頭
The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos
路易斯安那警方要製裁年輕人埃莫斯

在沼澤里狩獵鱷魚是違法的, 伙計
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp boy
每個人都指責他的父親
Now everyone blamed his old man
因為他們認為他父親使他成為狡猾的人
For making him mean as a snake
當埃莫斯摩西是一個男孩的時候
When Amos Moses was a boy
他的爸爸就把他當作鱷魚餌
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
用繩子綁住他的脖子,把他丟進沼澤
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
鱷魚在路易斯安那河流裡上鉤
Alligator man in the Louisiana bayou
在路易斯安那親戚家往東南45分鐘路程的地方
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana
住著一個叫米爾瑟醫生的男人和他漂亮的妻子漢娜
Lived a man called Dr Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah
他們養著的兒子可以吃完像他體重一樣的零食，
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries
以布料幫他命名

把他叫做埃莫斯·摩西
Named him after a man of the cloth
在路易斯安那南部周圍的人們
Called him Amos Moses
都說埃莫斯是個不像樣的男人

他可以抓住最大的, 最狡猾的鱷魚
Now the folks around south Louisiana
而且只用一隻手
Said Amos was a hell of a man
那是因為他的左手被鱷魚咬了
He could trap the biggest meanest alligator
所以他的左臂到左肘格外乾淨
And he'd just use one hand
警長發現了埃莫斯
That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it
在沼澤獵取鱷魚皮

所以他在沼澤中的潛伏著, 要抓到那個男孩
Left arm gone clear up to the elbow
但是他再也沒出現
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp
我不知道那個路易斯安那警長到哪裡去了
Trading alligator skins
你能確定他在路易斯安那海灣中迷路了
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
在路易斯安那親戚家往東南45分鐘路程的地方
But he never came out
住著一個叫米爾瑟醫生的男人和他漂亮的妻子漢娜
Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
他們養著的兒子可以吃完像他體重一樣的零食

以布料幫他命名
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
把他叫做埃莫斯·摩西
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana
我知道，孩子
Lived a cat named Dr Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah
讓他當兒子
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries
在路易斯安那親戚家往東南45分鐘路程的地方

Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses
I know son
Make it count son
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana
