E
Down in Louisiana where the blacktrees grow
Lives a VooDoo woman named Marie Laveux
A
She gotta black gapped tooth
E
And a mojo bone
Nephew wouldn't leave her 'lone
B E
She'd go ooooooh... Another man done gone
Well she lives in the swamp in a hollow log
With a one eyed snake and a three legged dog
A E
She got a big boney body, stringy hair
And if she ever caught you messin 'round there
B E
She'd go ooooooh... Another man done gone
A
Then one night when the moon was black
E F#
Into the swamp come a handsome Jack
A no good man like you all know
B
He was lookin around for Marie Laveux
E
He said Marie Laveux you lovely witch
Give me a charm that'll make me rich
A
Give me a million dollars and I'll tell you what I'll do
E
This very night I'm gonna marry you
B E
And it'll be mmmmmmm... Another man done gone
A
So Marie she done some magic shook a little sand
E
Made a million dollars and put it in his hand
F#
Then she wiggled and she giggled and she said
B
Hey, Hey, I'm gettin ready for my weddin' day
E
Oh handsome Jack, he said goodbye Marie
You're too damn ugly for a rich man like me
A
Then Marie she started mumblin', teeth started mashin'
E
She started tremblin' and her eyes started flashin'
B E
And she go ooooooh... Another man done gone
You ever get down where the blacktrees grow
And meet a VooDoo woman named Marie Laveux
A
She ever asked you to make her your wife
E
You better be true for the rest of your life
B E
Or it'll be ooooooh... Another man done gone
B B B B E7
Or it'll be ooooooh... Another man... Man... Man... Done gone...
