Jerry Reed Hubbard passed away on September 1st, 2008 at the age of 71.Īnd from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the remainder of the RPM Singles' Top 10 on March 13th, 1971: Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1971 on the Canadian RPM Magazine Singles* chart, for the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.I originally started to post this because of how the words were listed. I know someone else listed Doug Milsap, so I looked at several live versions of this song just to be absolutely sure, and each time if you watch closely you can see he actually says "Doc Milsap" The last verse - "Set out on 'em Amos, make it count son." This is instead of "sit down on 'em Amos, make it count son". Chris from ArizonaSo in the lyrics Amos Moses, his old man was Doc Milsap.Peter from LondonWe sang the Sensational Alex Harvey Band version of this in the 70's and it was always "Duck Bill Sam and his pretty wife Anna".Lived a cat called Doc Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
#Louisiana swamp song skin
Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was in the swamp trapping alligator skin That's all he got left 'cause an alligator bit it He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries Lived a man called Doc Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah

Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swampĪbout forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana His daddy would use him for alligator bait It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
