The Witch-Queen of New Orleans

The Witch-Queen of New Orleans
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans
I'm gonna tell you a story strange as it now seems
Of zombie voodoo gris gris and the witch-queen of New Orleans
She lived in a world of magic possessed by the devil's queue
From a shack near the swamp lands made of mud by brick
Marie stirred her witches brew
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans
Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy voodoo of any kind
She had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Early one mornin' into mucky swamp dew
Vanished Marie with hate in her eyes
Tho' she'll never return all the Cajuns knew
A witch-queen never dies
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau ....
