Marie Laveau

INTRO (TALK):
The most famous of the voodoo queens
 that ever existed
Is Marie Laveau, down in Louisana
There's a lot of weird, ungodly 
tales about Marie,
She's supposed to have a lot of 
magic potions, spells and curses....
 A
Down in Louisiana, where the black 
trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie 
Laveau
    D
She Got a black cat's tooth and a 
Mojo bone
     A
And anyone who wouldn't leave her 
alone
         E                        
She'd go (growl) another man done 
A
gone.
A
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a 
three-legged dog
            D
She's got a bent, bony body and 
stringy hair
A
If she ever seen y'all messin' 
'round there
        E                         
She'd go (growl) another man done 
A
gone.

D
And then one night when the moon was
 black
A
Into the swamp come handsome Jack
  B

E
And He was lookin' around for Marie 
Laveau.
        A
He said Marie Laveau, you lovely 
witch

that'll make me rich
D

you what I'll do

E

it in his hand
B
Then she giggled and she wiggled, 
and she said Hey, Hey
E

day.
        A
But old handsome Jack he said 
goodbye Marie
You're too damned ugly for a rich 
man like me
     D
Then Marie started mumblin', her 
fangs started gnashin'
    A
Her body started tremblin', and her 
eyes started flashin'
E                              
And she went (growl) another man 
       A
done gone.
A

black trees grow
And meet a voodoo lady named Marie 
Laveau
D

your wife
         A

the rest of your life
   E                               
Or it'll be (growl) another man 
  A
done gone.
