Testo Marie leveau Bobby Bare

Marie leveau

Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow lives a voodoo lady named Marie Leveau

She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone and anyone wouldn't leave her alone

She go (greeeeeee) another man done gone

She lives 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 all messin' round there

She go (greeeeeee) 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 when he was lookin' around for Marie Leveau

He said Marie Leveau you lovely witch gimme little charm that'll make me rich

Gimme million dollars and I tell you what I'll do this very night I'm gonna marry you

And it'll be ummmmmmm 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 hands

Then she giggled and she wiggled and she said hey hey

I'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day

But ol' Handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie

You're too damn ugly for a rich man like me

Then Marie started numblin' her fangs started gnashin'

Her body started tremblin' and her eyes started flashin'

And she went (greeeeeee) another man done gone

So if you ever get down where the black trees grow

And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Leveau

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 (oheeeeeee) another man done gone
