Bobby Bare - Marie Leveau слова песни
(Shel Silverstein - Baxter Taylor)
Down in Louisiana where the black trees grow
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 black trees 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...
