Mosquitos buzzin' round my head Spanish moss for my bed
Very seldom see dry land cause I'm an alligator man
I hunt the gator all night long sell his hide and then I'm gone
To see the belles from Bayou Shan they love this alligator man
This bayou country is my home and from this place I'll never roam
I'm the leader of the clan known as 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 the world for fame but
fightin' gators is my game
And the scars on my hand proves I'm an alligator man
A gator man til I die when I marry by and by
A pretty belle from Bayou Shan, We'll raise a little gator man
