Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow
Lived that voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux
She got a bent bony body and stringy hair
And if she ever seen you'll messing around here
She'd go...(scream) Another man done gone

She live in the swamp in a hollow log
She's got a one eyed snake and a three legged dog
She's got a black cat too, a mo-jo bone
anyone wouldn't leave her alone
She'd go...(scream) Another man done gone

Then one night when the moon was black
Into the swamp come a handsome Jack
A no-good man like you all know
He was looking around for Marie Laveaux
www.cajunlyrics.com
He said Marie Laveaux, you lovely little witch
Give me a little charm that'll make me rich
You give me a million dollars, and I'll tell you what I do
This very night, I'm gonna marry you
And it'll be a woo...(scream) Another man done gone

So Marie done some magic and she shook a little sand
She made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
She giggled and she wiggled and she said hey hey
I'm getting ready for my wedding day

But old handsome Jack, he said good-by Marie
You just too damm ugly for a rich man like me
Marie started mumbling, man her teeth started gnashing
And she went...(scream) Another man done gone
www.cajunlyrics.com
Now if you ever get to where the black trees grow
And meet that voodoo lady named Marie Laveaux
If she ever ask you to make her your wife,
Now you better stick with her for the rest of your life
Or it'll be a...(scream) Another man done gone
