Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Alligator Man

Mosquitoes buzzin' ‘round my head

Spanish moss for my bed

I very seldom see dry land

'Cause I'm an alligator man.

I hunt the 'gators all night long

I sell their hides and then I'm gone

I take the bill to Bayou Sam

Who loves that tall 'gator man.

Let’s go!

This bayou country is my home

The friendliest lake I've ever roamed

'Cause I'm the leader of the clan

Known as that tall 'gator man.

And when I bring those hides to town

All the people gather 'round

They just want to shake the hand

Of that tall 'gator man.

Some people search this world for fame

But hunting 'gators is my game

And by the scars upon my hand

So I'm an alligator man.

Let’s go!
