Marie Laveau

[00:00.09] The most famous of the voodoo queens that ever existed
[00:03.54] Is Marie Laveau, down in Louisiana
[00:06.11] There's a lot of weird ungodly tales about Marie
[00:09.66] She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions, spells and curses
[00:14.99] Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
[00:18.87] Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
[00:22.79] She got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
[00:27.04] And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone
[00:30.90] She'd go... another man done gone
[00:39.51] She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
[00:43.39] With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
[00:48.01] Bent, bony body, and stringy hair
[00:51.92] And if she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there
[00:55.50] She'd go... another man done gone
[01:04.33] And then one night when the moon was black
[01:08.25] Into the swamp come handsome Jack
[01:12.50] A no good man like you all know
[01:16.12] And he was lookin' around for Marie Laveau
[01:20.02] He said, "Marie Laveau, you lovely witch
[01:24.75] Gimme a little charm that'll make me rich
[01:28.82] Gimme a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do
[01:32.96] This very night, I'm gonna marry you"
[01:36.50] Then it'll be (mm), another man done gone
[01:44.89] So Marie done some magic, and she shook a little sand
[01:49.25] Made a million dollars, and she put it in his hand
[01:52.88] Then she giggled, and she wiggled, and she said, "Hey, hey
[01:57.29] I'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day"
[02:00.85] But old handsome Jack, he said, "Goodbye Marie
[02:05.54] You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me"
[02:09.34] Then Marie started mumblin', her fangs started gnashin'
[02:13.74] Her body started tremblin', and her eyes started flashin'
[02:17.44] And she went... another man done gone
[02:25.48] So if you ever get down where the black trees grow
[02:29.64] And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
[02:33.92] If she ever asks you to make her your wife
[02:37.87] Man, you better stay with her for the rest of your life
[02:41.72] Or it'll be (ooh-wee) another man done gone
[02:48.13]
[02:50.62] (Aah, we'll see)
[02:52.94] (Another man done gone)
