Marie Laveau (1974)

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

Got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone

And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone

She'd go 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

If she ever seen y'all messing round there

She'd go 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

He was looking around for Marie Laveau



He said Marie Laveau, you handsome witch

Give me a little a little charm that'll make me rich

Give me a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do

This very night, I'm gonna marry you

Then It'll be 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 getting ready for my wedding day


But old handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie

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

Then Marie started mumbling her fangs started gnashing

Her body started trembling and her eyes started flashing

And she went another man done gone.


So if you ever get 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 another man done gone
