The subject of a hillbilly funk song of the same name, Amos Moses was the brainchild of Jerry Reed, in 1971.
According to the song, Amos Moses was a stoic, one-armed Cajun man that "hunted gators" (that is, alligators) back when the act was still criminalized. When a sherrif tried to catch him for his crime, he "never come out again".
The song describes him as a sort of tough as nails person, not unlike Chuck Norris, though his "super powers" were severely limited, since his power was "huntin' alligators down in the swamp boi".
