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

|
She got a bent bony body and stringy hair and if she ever seen you messin' round there |

And then one night when the moon was black into the swamp came Handsome Jack |
|
A no good man that you all know and he was lookin' around for Marie Lavaux |
|

|
He said now gimme million dollars and I'll tell you what I'll do, this very night I'm gonna marry you |

|
Then she looked and she said hey hey, Now I'm gettin' ready for my wedding day |
|
But ol' Handsome Jack said "Good-bye Marie, you too damn ugly for a man like me" |
|
So Marie started cryin', her fangs started shakin', her body started turnin', she started quakin' |
|
