Kenny Mac – Gator Man lyrics

He lives in the swamp down in no mans land
Some people call him a gator man.
Hes got skin like mud eyes that spark
And you don't wanna be around after dark

He was raised in the swamps by a old mamma gator
By the time he was 3 he had hide like a gator
He could swim like fish he could jump like a frog
You wouldn't think he was human at all

Even the Rougarou wont mess around with him
Black magic a'nt got nothin on Jim

Well the story was told back 69
Jim"s mamma an daddy lived off the land running trot lines,
Hunted in the dark they lived down deep in the Louisiana swamps

Little Jim was barely 1 year old they say
When he fell 1 night off their fishing boat

They say old mamma gator swam up to Jim
Hunger in her eyes as she swam toward him
She swept him away last they saw
They never found a trace of Jim at all

Jim an mamma gator was never seen again
Why all the folks around here stay away from Jim

Well a old gator hunter heard the story about Jim
Said boys you know I'm going to bring him in
Well he left one night when the moon was bright;
He never was heard or seen again

Even the Rougarou wont mess around with him
Why all the local folks around here stay away from Jim

Then late one night when the moon was black
Jim snuck into town an met his match
She had skin like silk an eyes that sparked
Then they disappeared back in the Louisiana swamps

Even the Rougarou wont mess around with him
Black magic a'nt got nothing on jim

Why all the folks around here stay away from Jim
Now they say the whole dam swamps is full of Jim"s
