Lyrics for Song: Marie Leveau
Lyrics for Album: 16 Biggest Hits [RCA Nashville/Legacy] [2007]
(Shel Silverstein - Baxter Taylor)
Down in Louisiana where the swamp grass grows
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 swamp grass 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...
