Marie Laveau

Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow

Got a black cat’s tooth and a Mojo bone

And anyone who wouldn’t leave her alone

She’d go (growl) another man done gone

She’s got a bent bony body and stringy hair

If she ever seen y’all messing around 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

He was looking around for Marie Laveau

He said Marie Laveau you lovely witch

Gimme a million dollars and I tell you what I’ll do

Then it’ll be (growl) 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

Then Marie started mumbling her fangs started gnashing

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 (growl) another man done gone
