Marie Laveaux Lyrics

Down in LouÃ''siana where the black trees grow

Live a voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux.

She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone,

And anyone wouldnÃ''t leave her alone.

She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE...

Another man done gone.

She live in a swamp in a hollow log

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

She got a bent bony body and stringy hair,

And if she ever seen you messinÃ'' round there,

She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE...

Another man done gone.

And then one night when the moon was black,

Into the swamp came Handsome Jack.

A no-good man like you all know,

And he was lookinÃ'' around for Marie Laveaux .

He said, "Marie Laveaux, you lovely witch,

Why donÃ''t you gimme a little charm thatÃ''ll make me rich.

Gimme million dollars, and IÃ''ll tell you what IÃ''ll do...

This very night IÃ''m gonna marry you."

ItÃ''ll be UMMMMMMMM...

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,

IÃ''m gettinÃ'' ready for my wedding day."

But olÃ'' Handsome Jack said "Goo-bye Marie.

You too damn ugly for a man like me."

So Marie started shakinÃ'', her fangs started gnashinÃ'',

Her body started shakinÃ'', and her eyes started flashinÃ''.

She went GREEEEEEEEEEEE...

Another man done gone.

So if you ever get down where the black tree grow

And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux,

And if she ever asks you to make her your wife,

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

Or itÃ''ll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE...

Another man done gone.
