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.
