This is a swamp man telling his story. He's pretty happy with his circumstances, down there in the Plaquemines. He's ornery.
Lyrics
Alligator Man I’ve got an alligator bone and a catfish line Do what I want almost all the time Got a Cajun woman that keeps my shack Won’t let nobody sneak up on my back She a, cook me crocodile and crawfish stew Nobody tries to tell me what to do. I’ve got, Everything I need to get through, but, somehow I can’t got you But I’m goin’ down, down this dusty road Way down. I say my prayers with my daily bead I ignore the crazy voices in my head. A Bernelli Black Eagle hangs over my door. I don’t get rich but I sure ain’t poor But I’m goin’ down, down this dusty road. Way down. I got everything I need to get through, but Somehow I can’t got you. Somehow baby. Got a rattlesnake band from my daddy’s felt brim Ain’t a day goes by I don’t think of him Got a 47 Gibson that plays so sweet, Charms the women right off of their feet Can watch the moon from my front porch Jump in the water when it starts to scorch. But I’m goin’ down, down this dusty road Way down. Everything I need to get through, but, somehow I can’t get you Everything I need to get through, but, somehow I can’t get you
