Letras:Shel Silverstein. Marie Laveaux.

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.
