Marie Leveau Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow lives a voodoo lady named Marie Leveau 

She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone and anyone wouldn't leave her alone 

She go (greeeeeee) another man done gone 

She lives 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 all messin' round there 

She go (greeeeeee) another man done gone 

And then one night when the moon was black into the swamp come Handsome Jack 

A no good man like you all know when he was lookin' around for Marie Leveau 

He said Marie Leveau you lovely witch gimme little charm that'll make me rich 

Gimme million dollars and I tell you what I'll do this very night I'm gonna marry you 

And it'll be ummmmmmm 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 hands 

Then she giggled and she wiggled and she said hey hey 

I'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day 

But ol' Handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie 

You're too damn ugly for a rich man like me 

Then Marie started numblin' her fangs started gnashin' 

Her body started tremblin' and her eyes started flashin' 

And she went (greeeeeee) another man done gone 

So if you ever get down where the black trees grow 

And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Leveau 

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 (oheeeeeee) another man done gone
