INTRO (TALK):
The most famous of the voodoo queens that ever existed
Is Marie Laveau, down in Louisana
There's a lot of weird, ungodly tales about Marie,
She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions, spells and curses....
DAown in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
She DGot a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
And aAnyone who wouldn't leave her alone
She'd go E(growl) another man done Agone.
AShe lives in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
She's got a Dbent, bony body and stringy hair
AIf she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there
She'd goE (growl) another man done Agone.
DAnd then one night when the moon was black
AInto the swamp come handsome Jack
A Bno good man like you all know
EAnd He was lookin' around for Marie Laveau.
He said AMarie Laveau, you lovely witch
Gimme a little a little charm that'll make me rich
DGimme a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do
AThis very night, I'm gonna marry you
EThen It'll be (growl) another man done Agone.
So DMarie done some magic, and she shook a little sand
AMade a million dollars and she put it in his hand
BThen she giggled and she wiggled, and she said Hey, Hey
EI'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day.
But old Ahandsome Jack he said goodbye Marie
You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me
Then DMarie started mumblin', her fangs started gnashin'
Her Abody started tremblin', and her eyes started flashin'
EAnd she went (growl) another man done Agone.
ASo if you ever git down where the black trees grow
And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
DIf she ever asks you to make her your wife
Man, you Abetter stay with her for the rest of your life
Or Eit'll be (growl) another man done Agone.
