Dr. Hook Follow

Down in Lou'siana where the black trees grow lives a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux.
She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone and anyone wouldn't leave her alone
She’d go GREEEEEEEEEEEE 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 ya’ all messin' round there
She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone.

And then one night when the moon was black, into the swamp come Handsome Jack,
A no good man that like you all know and he was lookin' around for Marie Lavaux.

He said, "Marie Lavaux, you lovely witch. Now gimme a little charm that’ll make me rich.
Now gimme million dollars and I'll tell you what I'll do, this very night I'm gonna marry you."
And it'll be MMMMMMMMM 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 hand.
Then she giggled and she wiggled and she said, "Hey hey, I'm gettin' ready for my wedding day."
But ol' Handsome Jack, he said, "Good-bye Marie, you too damn ugly for a rich man like me."
And Marie started mumblin’, her fangs started gnashin’, her body started tremblin’, and her eyes started flashin’.
And she went GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone.

So if you ever get down where the black trees grow and meet a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux,
And 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 GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone.
