Down in LouВґsiana where the black trees grow
Live a voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux
She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone,
And anyone wouldnВґt 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 messinВґ 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 lookinВґ around for Marie Laveaux
He said, "Marie Laveaux, you lovely witch,
Why donВґt you gimme a little charm thatВґll make me rich
Gimme million dollars, and IВґll tell you what IВґll do
This very night IВґm gonna marry you"
ItВґll 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,
IВґm gettinВґ ready for my wedding day"
But olВґ Handsome Jack said "Goo-bye Marie
You too damn ugly for a man like me"
So Marie started shakinВґ, her fangs started gnashinВґ,
Her body started shakinВґ, and her eyes started flashinВґ
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 itВґll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE
Another man done gone
