歌词
Amos Moses - Jerry Reed
埃莫斯摩西 - 杰瑞·里德
Yeah here comes Amos
是的，这是埃莫斯
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
埃莫斯摩西是一个路易斯安那州人
He lived by himself in the swamp
他独自居住在沼泽
He hunted alligator for a living
他以狩猎鳄鱼为生
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
他只需要用树枝敲鳄鱼的头
The Louisiana law gonna get you Amos
路易斯安那警方要制裁年轻人埃莫斯
在沼泽里狩猎鳄鱼是违法的, 伙计
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp boy
每个人都指责他的父亲
Now everyone blamed his old man
因为他们认为他父亲使他成为狡猾的人
For making him mean as a snake
当埃莫斯摩西是一个男孩的时候
When Amos Moses was a boy
他的爸爸就把他当作鳄鱼饵
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
用绳子绑住他的脖子,把他丢进沼泽
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
鳄鱼在路易斯安那河流里上钩
Alligator man in the Louisiana bayou
在路易斯安那亲戚家往东南45分钟路程的地方
About forty-five minutes south of Tippitoe Louisiana
住着一个叫米尔瑟医生的男人和他漂亮的妻子汉娜
Lived a man called Dr Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah
他们养着的儿子可以吃完像他体重一样的零食，
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries
以布料帮他命名
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围的人们
Called him Amos Moses
都说埃莫斯是个不像样的男人
他可以抓住最大的, 最狡猾的鳄鱼
Now the folks around south Louisiana
而且只用一只手
Said Amos was a hell of a man
那是因为他的左手被鳄鱼咬了
He could trap the biggest meanest alligator
所以他的左臂到左肘格外干净
And he'd just use one hand
警长发现了埃莫斯
That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it
在沼泽猎取鳄鱼皮
所以他在沼泽中的潜伏着, 要抓到那个男孩
Left arm gone clear up to the elbow
但是他再也没出现
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp
我不知道那个路易斯安那警长到哪里去了
Trading alligator skins
你能确定他在路易斯安那海湾中迷路了
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
在路易斯安那亲戚家往东南45分钟路程的地方
But he never came out
住着一个叫米尔瑟医生的男人和他漂亮的妻子汉娜
Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
他们养着的儿子可以吃完像他体重一样的零食
以布料帮他命名
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
让他当儿子
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries
在路易斯安那亲戚家往东南45分钟路程的地方
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
