Alligator Man

Mosquitos buzzin' round my head Spanish moss for my bed
I sail them sea dried land cause I'm an alligator man
I hunt the gator all night long sell his hidin' then I'm gone
I pick all the bells I can they love the alligator man
This country is my home from this place I'll never roam
I'm the leader of the clan I'm the alligator man
When I bring my hides to town all the people gather round
They just want to shake the hand of the top gator man
[ guitar ]
Some people search this world for fame but fightin' gators is my game
See the scars on my hand I'm the alligator man
Top gator man until I die if I marry by and by
A pretty belle from the clan I'll still be top gator man
This country is my home...
I'm the alligator man I'm the alligator man I'm the alligator man
