The most famous of the voodoo queens that ever existed

Is Marie Laveau, down in Louisiana

There's a lot of weird ungodly tales about Marie

She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions, spells and curses

Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow

Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau

She got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone

And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone

She'd go... another man done gone

She lives in a swamp in a hollow log

With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog

Bent, bony body, and stringy hair

And if she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there

She'd go... 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

And he was lookin' around for Marie Laveau

He said, "Marie Laveau, you lovely witch

Gimme a little charm that'll make me rich

Gimme a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do

This very night, I'm gonna marry you"

Then it'll be (mm), 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

I'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day"

But old handsome Jack, he said, "Goodbye Marie

You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me"

Then Marie started mumblin', her fangs started gnashin'

Her body started tremblin', and her eyes started flashin'

And she went... another man done gone

So if you ever get down where the black trees grow

And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau

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 (ooh-wee) another man done gone

(Aah, we'll see)

(Another man done gone)
