Down in Louisana, where the black trees grow

Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau

Got a  black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone

And  anyone who wouldn't leave her alone

She'd go  (growl) another man done  gone.



She lives in a swamp in a hollow log

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

She's got a bent, bony body and stringy hair

If she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there

She'd go (growl) 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 

He was lookin' around for Marie Laveau



He said Marie Laveau, you lovely witch

Gimme a little 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 ummmm 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 (growl) another man done gone.



So if you ever git 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 (growl) another man done gone.
