Jerry Reed - Gator lyrics

He was raised in the swamp in back of a slough He grew up eatin' rattlesnake meat drinkin' homemade brew Now folks here about call him Gator and everybody knows him well Meanest man ever to hit the swamp folks swear he come straight outta hell Well Gator McKlusky's sittin' on a stump Hammer pulled back on a twelve gauge pump Watchin' that swamp lookin' out for the law While he make the best corn liquor you ever saw Rot gut whiskey While he's makin' that mash he watches and he looks Ol' Gator he knows that swamp like a book Sumpin' out there movin' Gator whadda ya see Ain't nothin' but the snakes and the gators and me Everything's okey dokey in the Okefenokee That sheriff ain't snoopin' around So cook that moonshine down till it's good and clear Everything's okey dokey in the Okefenokee That sheriff he'd soon mess around with the devil Than to get his self alone messin' around in here One day he was cookin' some mash he was almost done When they spotted the law and they had to run So he headed for the swamp and they followed him in But the law might as well been a chasin' the wind Look out for that snake sheriff Well they chased him on back through the muck and the slime To the back of that swamp where the sun don't shine But the law won't never catch Gator my friend Cause he knows that swamp like the back of his hand Watch out boys old Smokey's in the Okefenokee The sheriff's out there snoopin' around So shut that business down and let's disappear Look out boys old Smokey's in the Okefenokee But that sheriff he's really gonna catch the devil If he keeps on snoopin' around in here Gator's in the swamp Sheriff go get him if you can Careful Sheriff don't let that Gator bite you on your gonads
