The most famous of all the voodoo queens that ever existed is Marie Laveau down in Louisiana.
There's a lot of [C#] weird ungodly [A] tales about Marie.
She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions and [C#m] spells and curses.
[A] Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow lives a voodoo lady named Marie [F#] Laveau.
She [B] got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone.
[A] Anyone who [F#m] wouldn't leave [F#] her alone she'd go.
[Em] Another man [Am] done gone.
[A]
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log with a one eyed snake and a three legged dog.
She [D] got a bent bony body and strangly hair.
[A] And if she ever seen y'all messing around there [E] she'd go.
[G#]
[E] [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.
[Em] When he was looking [C#] around for Marie Laveau.
He [A] said Marie Laveau you lovely witch.
Give me a little charm that will make me rich.
Give me a million [Bm] dollars and tell you what I'll do.
This [F#] very night I'm gonna marry you.
And it'll be
[E] another man [A] done gone.
And [D] so Marie done some magic and she shook a little sand.
[A] And made a million dollars and she put it in his hand.
[B] Then she giggled and she wiggled and she said hey, hey.
I'm getting ready for my wedding [A] day.
But old handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie.
You're too damn ugly for a [F#m] rich man like me.
[D] Then Marie started mumbling her fangs started gnashing.
[A] Her body started trembling and her [C#] eyes started flashing.
[E] And she went another [Am] man done gone.
[A] Oh if you ever get down where the black trees grow.
And meet a [E] voodoo lady [A] named Marie Laveau.
[D] If [F#m] she ever asks [D] you to make her your wife.
[Am] Man you better stay with her [A] for the rest of your life.
Or [E] it'll be
[G] another [A] man done gone.
Ah Marie.
Show me that pretty white face of yours.
Another man done gone.
[G#]
