Now there lived a conjure-lady, not long ago, | |
In New Orleans, Louisiana – named Marie Laveau. | |
Believe it or not, strange as it seem, | |
She made her fortune selling voodoo, and interpreting dreams. | |
She was known throughout the nation as the Voodoo Queen. | |
Folks come to her, from miles and miles around, | |
She sure know how to put that, that voodoo down. | |
To the voodoo lady they all would go, | |
The rich, the educated, the ignorant and the poor. | |
She’d snap her fingers, and shake her head, | |
She’d tell them 'bout their lovers – livin’ or dead. | |
Now an old, old lady named widow Brown, | |
Asked why her lover, stopped comin’ around | |
The voodoo gazed at her and squawked | |
I seen him kissin’ a young girl, up at Shakespeare’s Park | |
Hanging on an oak tree, in the dark. | |
Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen, | |
From way down yonder in New Orleans. | |
Ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – yaaaaa | |
Now old, old lady, she lost her speech, | |
Tears start to rollin’ down her checks, | |
Voodoo say, “Hush my darlin don’t you cry,” | |
I make him come back, by and by. | |
Just sprinkle this snake dust, all over your floor, | |
I’ll make him come back Friday mornin’, when the rooster crow. | |
Now Marie Laveau she held em in her hand, | |
New Orleans, Louisiana was her promised land. | |
Quality folks, come from far and near, | |
This wonder woman, for to hear. | |
They was afraid to be seen, at her gate, | |
They’d creep through the dark, just to hear their fate. | |
Holdin’ dark veils, over their head, | |
They would tremble to hear, what Maria would say. | |
Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen, | |
From way down yonder in New Orleans. | |
Ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – yaaaaa | |
And she made gris-gris, with an old ram horn, | |
Stuffed with feathers, shuck from a corn. | |
A big black candle, and a catfish fin, | |
She make a man get religion, and give up his sin. | |
Sad news got out one mornin’, at the break of day, | |
Marie Laveau had done pass away. | |
St. Louis cemetery, she lay in her tomb, | |
She was buried one night, on the wake of the moon. | |
Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
The folks still believe, in the Voodoo Queen, | |
From way down yonder in New Orleans. | |
Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen, | |
From way down yonder in New Orleans. | |
Marie, Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau, | |
Marie Laveau, the Marie Laveau, | |
Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen. |
