Redbone - The Witch-queen Of New Orleans Lyrics

[Chorus]
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 world of magic
possessed by the devils skew
from a shack near the swamp lands
made of mudpie brick.
Marie stirred her witches brew.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
