Marie LaVaux by Blue Dogs 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
