Tekster: The Blue Dogs. Marie LaVeaux.

Down in LouA'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 wouldnA'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 messinA' 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 lookinA' around for Marie Laveaux .
He said, "Marie Laveaux, you lovely witch,
Why donA't you gimme a little charm thatA'll make me rich.
Gimme million dollars, and IA'll tell you what IA'll do...
This very night IA'm gonna marry you."
ItA'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,
IA'm gettinA' ready for my wedding day."
But olA' Handsome Jack said "Goo-bye Marie.
You too damn ugly for a man like me."
So Marie started shakinA', her fangs started gnashinA',
Her body started shakinA', and her eyes started flashinA'.
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 itA'll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE...
Another man done gone.
