Marie Laveaux by Blue Dogs
Marie Laveaux lyrics
Down in Lou�'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 wouldn�'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 messin�' 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 lookin�' around for Marie Laveaux .
He said, "Marie Laveaux, you lovely witch,
Why don�'t you gimme a little charm that�'ll make me rich.
Gimme million dollars, and I�'ll tell you what I�'ll do...
This very night I�'m gonna marry you."
It�'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,
I�'m gettin�' ready for my wedding day."
But ol�' Handsome Jack said "Goo-bye Marie.
You too damn ugly for a man like me."
So Marie started shakin�', her fangs started gnashin�',
Her body started shakin�', and her eyes started flashin�'.
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 it�'ll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE...
Another man done gone.
