i’m thinking more Jerry Reed “Amos Moses” style



I've got one called "Skeeter Braud" that's perfect for that style

A snippet.

down in the swamps of south Louisiana lived a mountain of a man,
He measured in at six foot seven, when he took a stand,
And everybody’d tip their hats where ever he would go,
A mighty monster from the bayou,
Called him Skeeter Braud



Might work on it later today

I like it. I spent 15 years in La and have a catahoula named Rougarou. I’m back living in Florida now and people think it’s the craziest name ever. I will play your song tonight while cooking burgers for friends.

Yeah they can make an alligator,
Taste just like a crocodile,


Is croc better eating than gator? If not, I’d revise that line.

I don't know if I've ever had crocodile, but from a skim they taste much the same.

Thibedeaux




Sorry, good catch,

When I chop it up and feed it into the thing, I've learned that with a lot of French terms, you have to spell it out phonetically or it Will absolutely butcher it.

Like I had to spell Roux as Roo
Or it would say it as "Roo-kss"

And Thibodeaux....you don't even want to know what that sounded like.

I went back and changed it after but that one slipped through the cracks
