There's a man called the Louisanna
         Swamp Man
He lived at the edge of the swamp
He'd catch those alligators for a
         livin'
He'd go out every mornin' for the
         hunt

He'd roam that bayou in the backland
From early mornin' til the sun went
         down
Then he'd skin those gators
And he'd cut em' up
Put em' in his truck and take em'
         into town
( Cause he's a swamp man )
( Hunts Alligators )

He was a giant of a man
He stood six foot four
Weighed two hundred and eighty - five
      pounds
When he wrestled that gator with his
      club like hands
That ole gator was sure to go down

He would sip his corn liquor
       In the evening sun
Sometimes sittin' in his rockin' chair
If a stranger came around
He would scare em' off
With one look from his icy stare
( Cause he's a swamp man )
( He's mean )
( Just look in his eyes )

Yeah there's a man called the Louisanna
       Swamp Man
He lived all alone in the swamp
He didn't want to be bothered by nobody
He'd go out every mornin' for the hunt

So let me tell you if you ever take the
      notion
To go snoopin' round the old mans place
When the sheriff starts lookin' for
       your body
You can bet he'll never ever find a trace
( No he won't )
( You'll be gator bait )
( So just stay away )
( See that sign )
( It says " NO TRESPASSIN'" )
