G
Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
C
Got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
G
And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone
C D7 G
She'd go (growl) another man done gone
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
C
She's got a bent bony body and stringy hair
G
If she ever seen y'all messing around there
C D7 G
She'd go (growl) another man done gone
C
And then one night when the moon was black
G
Into the swamp come handsome Jack
A7
A no good man like you all know
D7
He was looking around for Marie Laveau
G
He said Marie Laveau you lovely witch
Gimme a little a little charm that'll make me rich
C G
Gimme a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do
This very night I'm gonna marry you
C D7 G
Then it'll be (growl) another man done gone
C
So Marie done some magic and she shook a little sand
G
Made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
A7
Then she giggled and she wiggled and she said hey hey
D7
I'm getting ready for my wedding day
G
But old handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie
You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me
C G
Then Marie started mumbling her fangs started gnashing
Her body started trembling and her eyes started flashing
C D7 G
And she went (growl) another man done gone
C
So if you ever git down where the black trees grow
G
And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
C
If she ever asks you to make her your wife
G
Man you better stay with her for the rest of your life
C D7 G
Or it'll be (growl) another man done gone
