“Tale of the Gator”
A song about a fearless alligator hunter and his loyal hound, set deep in the heart of the swamp. While out on their flatboat hunting gators, they’re confronted by a massive, menacing alligator—the same beast that had been terrorizing nearby townsfolk. The creature lunges at their boat, but the hunter stands his ground. With steady aim, he raises his rifle and takes the shot, felling the gator with a bullet right between the eyes.

Moments later, a stranger appears from the mist, helping to haul the beast aboard. With the dog’s tail wagging proudly, the stranger nods and says, “That’s the one.” Together, they bring the gator back to town, where they’re met with roaring cheers and celebration. The hunter’s bravery and the loyal dog’s presence become legend—forever remembered in the Tale of the Gator.
