Marie Laveau Chords by Bobby Bare

_ _ The most famous of all the voodoo queens that ever existed is Marie Laveau down in Louisiana. _
A lot of weird ungodly tales about Marie.
[E] She's supposed [A] to have a lot of magic potions and spells [E] and curses.
[A] Down in Louisiana where the black [E] trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
She [B] got a black cat tooth and a [A] mojo bone
Anyone [E] who [F#m] wouldn't leave her [F#] alone she'd go
_ _ _ _ [A] Another man done gone _ _ _ _ _
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
[D] She got a bent bony body and strangy hair
[A] And if she ever seen y'all messin' around there [E] she'd go
_ _ _ [A] Another man done gone
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[D] And then one night when the moon was black
[A] _ Into the swamp come handsome Jack
[F#] No good man like you all know
When [E] he was looking around for Marie Laveau
He [A] said, Marie [C#] Laveau, you [E] lovely witch
[A] Give me a little charm that'll make me rich
[D] Give me a [F#m] million dollars [Bm] and tell you what I'll do
This very night I'm [A] gonna marry [F#] you
And it'll be, _ mmm, [E] _ another man [A] done gone
_ _ _ _ So [D] Marie done some magic and she shook a little saint
[A] Made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
Then [B] she giggled and she wiggled and she said, hey, hey _
I'm getting ready for my wedding day, [A] but oh a handsome Jackie said goodbye Marie
You're too damn ugly for a rich man like me
[D]
Then Marie started mumbling her fang started gnashing [A] her body started trembling and her eyes [Em] started flashing
And she [E] went
_ _ _ No, no, [Am] no man done gone
_ [A] _ _ _ Oh if you ever get down where the black trees grow and meet voodoo lady named Marie
Laveau and [Em] she ever asked you to [F#] make her your [D] wife man
You [B] better stay with [E] her for the [A] rest of your life or it'll be
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh _ _ _ _ _ _
