Lyrics

Mmmmmmmmmm . . . oh uga uga
Down in Lou'siana where the black trees grow live a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux doooo
She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone and anyone wouldn't leave her alone
She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
She live in a swamp in a hollow log with a one eyed snake, a three legged dog
Got a thin bony body and snakey hair and if she ever seen you messin' round there
She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone, gone
Then one night when the moon was black, into the swamp came a Handsome Jack
A no good man that you all know and he was lookin' around for Marie Lavaux
He said Marie Lavaux, you lovely witch, why don't you gimme a little charm, gonna make me rich
He said now gimme million dollars and I'll tell you what I'll do, this very night I'm gonna marry you
It'll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
So Marie did some magic and she shook a little sand, she made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
Then she looked and she said hey hey, now I'm gettin' ready for my wedding day
Then ol' Handsome Jack said "Good-bye Marie, ha, you too damn ugly for a man like me"
So Marie started cryin', her fangs started shakin', her body started turnin', she started quakin'
She said GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
So if you ever get down where the black tree grow and meet a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux
You'd better look out
And 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 GREEEEEEEEEEEE.... hehehehehe
