Marie Laveau

 

The most famous of the voodoo queens that ever
existed is Marie Laveau, down in Louisiana.
There's a lot of weird, ungodly tales about Marie.
She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions,
spells and curses.

 

 

 

Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow

 

 

Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau

 

 

She got a black cat tooth and a Mojo bone

 

 

 

And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone

 

 

She'd go (growl) another man done gone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She lives in a swamp in a hollow log

 

 

With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog

 

 


She's got a bent, bony body and stringy hair

 

 

 

And if she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there

 

 

She'd go (growl) another man done gone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then one night when the moon was black

 

 

Into the swamp come handsome Jack

 

 


A no good man like you all know

 

 


And He was lookin' around for Marie Laveau.

 

 

He said Marie Laveau, you lovely witch

 

 

A' Gimme a little a little charm that'll make me rich

 

 


A' Gimme a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do

 

 

 

This very night, I'm gonna marry you

 

 

Then He'll be (mmmmm) another man done gone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So Marie done some magic, and she shook a little sand

 

 

Made a million dollars and she put it in his hand

 

 

Then she giggled and she wiggled, and she said Hey, Hey

 

 

 

I'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day.

 

 


But old handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie

 

 

You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me

 

 

 

Then Marie started mumblin', her fangs started gnashin'

 

 

Her body started tremblin', and her eyes started flashin'

 

 

And she went (growl) another man done gone.

 

 

 

 

 


So if you ever git down where the black trees grow

 

 


And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau

 

 

 

If she ever asks you to make her your wife

 

 

Man, you better stay with her for the rest of your life

 

 


Or it'll be (ooooeeee) another man done gone.

She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions, spells and curses.... 

Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow 

Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau 

She got a black cat tooth and a Mojo bone 

And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone 

She'd go (growl) another man done gone. 

She lives in a swamp in a hollow log 

With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog 

She's got a bent, bony body and stringy hair 

And if she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there 

She'd go (growl) another man done gone. 

And then one night when the moon was black 

Into the swamp come handsome Jack 

A no good man like you all know 

And he was lookin' around for Marie Laveau.
