Marie Laveau - Dr. John[00:00:00]

Now there lived a conjure-lady, not long ago,[00:00:14]

In New Orleans, Louisiana – named Marie Laveau.[00:00:20]

Believe it or not, strange as it seem,[00:00:27]

She made her fortune selling voodoo,[00:00:33]

And interpreting dreams.[00:00:37]

She was known throughout the nation as the Voodoo Queen.[00:00:40]

Folks come to her, from miles and miles around,[00:00:46]

She sure know how to put that, that voodoo down.[00:00:52]

To the voodoo lady they all would go,[00:00:59]

The rich, the educated, the ignorant and the poor.[00:01:05]

She'd snap her fingers, and shake her head,[00:01:12]

She'd tell them 'bout their lovers – livin' or dead.[00:01:18]

Now an old, old lady named widow Brown,[00:01:25]

Asked why her lover, stopped comin' around[00:01:31]

The voodoo gazed at her and squawked[00:01:38]

I seen him kissin' a young girl,[00:01:43]

Up at Shakespeare's Park[00:01:47]

Hanging on an oak tree, in the dark.[00:01:50]

Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:01:56]

Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:02:02]

Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen,[00:02:09]

From way down yonder in New Orleans.[00:02:15]

Ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – yaaaaa[00:02:22]

Now old, old lady, she lost her speech,[00:02:35]

Tears start to rollin' down her checks,[00:02:41]

Voodoo say, "Hush my darlin don't you cry,"[00:02:47]

I make him come back, by and by.[00:02:53]

Just sprinkle this snake dust, all over your floor,[00:03:00]

I'll make him come back Friday mornin',[00:03:06]

When the rooster crow.[00:03:09]

Now Marie Laveau she held em in her hand,[00:03:13]

New Orleans, Louisiana was her promised land.[00:03:19]

Quality folks, come from far and near,[00:03:26]

This wonder woman, for to hear.[00:03:33]

They was afraid to be seen, at her gate,[00:03:38]

They'd creep through the dark, just to hear their fate.[00:03:44]

Holdin' dark veils, over their head,[00:03:51]

They would tremble to hear, what Maria would say.[00:03:56]

Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:04:03]

Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:04:09]

Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen,[00:04:16]

From way down yonder in New Orleans.[00:04:22]

Ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – ya, ya, ya – yaaaaa[00:04:29]

And she made gris-gris, with an old ram horn,[00:04:42]

Stuffed with feathers, shuck from a corn.[00:04:48]

A big black candle, and a catfish fin,[00:04:55]

She make a man get religion,[00:05:00]

And give up his sin.[00:05:04]

Sad news got out one mornin',[00:05:07]

At the break of day,[00:05:11]

Marie Laveau had done pass away.[00:05:14]

St. Louis cemetery, she lay in her tomb,[00:05:20]

She was buried one night,[00:05:25]

On the wake of the moon.[00:05:28]

Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:05:32]

Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:05:38]

The folks still believe, in the Voodoo Queen,[00:05:44]

From way down yonder in New Orleans.[00:05:51]

Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:05:57]

Oh Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:06:03]

Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen,[00:06:10]

From way down yonder in New Orleans.[00:06:16]

Marie, Marie Laveau, Oh Marie Laveau,[00:06:23]

Marie Laveau, the Marie Laveau,[00:06:29]

Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen.[00:06:35]
