Marie Lavaux Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow
Live a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux, no
She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone
And anyone wouldn't leave her alone
She go GREEEEE-AGHH
Another man done gone

[Verse 2]
She live in a swamp, in a hollow log
With a one eyed snake, a three legged dog
She got a bent bony body and-a stringy hair
And if she ever seen you messin' round there
She go GREEEEE-
Another man done gone, gone

[Bridge 1]
And then one night when the moon was black
Into the swamp came-a handsome Jack
A no good man that you all know
And he was lookin' around for Marie Lavaux

[Verse 3]
He said Marie Lavaux you lovely witch
Why don't you gimme a little charm, gonna make me rich
(yeah baby, so rich)
He said now gimme a million dollars I'm-a tell you what I'll do
This very night I'm gonna marry you
It'll be GREEEEE-
Another man done gone

[Bridge 2]
So Marie did some magic and she shook a little sand
She made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
Then she looked and she said hey, hey
Now I'm gettin' ready for my wedding day

[Verse 4]
But ol' handsome Jack said "good-bye Marie
Huh, you too damn ugly for a man like me"
So Marie started cryin', her fangs started shakin'
Her body started turnin', she started quakin'
She said GREEEEE-
Another man done gone

[Verse 5]
So if you ever get down where the black tree grow
And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux
(you better look out)
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 GREEEEEEEEE-E-E-E-E-E
