Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
She got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone
She'd go... another man done gone
She lived in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
Bent, bony body and stringy hair
And if she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there
She'd go... another man done gone
And then one night when the moon was black
Into the swamp came handsome Jack
A no good man like you all know
Lookin' around for Marie Laveau
He said, "Marie Laveau, you lovely witch
Gimme 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 (uhh), another man done gone
So Marie done some magic, 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 said, "Goodbye Marie
You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me"
Marie started mumblin', her fangs started gnashin'
Her body started tremblin', and her eyes started flashin'
And she went... another man done gone
So if you ever get 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... another man done gone
(Aah we'll see)
(Another man done gone)

My late husband used to sing this all the time. ESPECIALLY when we were dating and freshly married back in 1984. I thought he had made the song up, or had simply lost his mind. However, I liked it anyway. I never listened to country music back then, as I was strickly a rock and roll fan. Then, on pur way to work one afternoon, )he had control of the radio that day), the song actually came on!!!! I was floored!! Cool song! My Uncle lives just outside New Orleans, so when we went down to visit him, I asked about Marie Laveaux. He said she was a very famous witch years and years ago. He even took me by a store that was in her name...I refused to go in because I was skerred!!

My dad, who is almost 50, used to sing this to me when I was little! He even did the "eeeee-owww!" part! Hahaha, it reminds me of him! (:

They just played this at my Uncle Bills funeral last Saturday. Who just happened to be from Louisiana!! Without a doubt Uncle Bill was looking down from the heavens having a good laugh!! That would so be Uncle Bill!! I thank you for being a stand up guy who's smile and sence of humor, lit up the stars and skys which brought us all a brighter today, yet even a brighter tomorrow. Enjoy eternity with the love of your life now, which you most certainly deserved. You are loved and missed by many! RIP
