Redbone
The Witch Queen of New Orleans
[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
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna tell you a story
Strange as it might seem
Of zombie voodoo gris-gris
And the Witch Queen of New Orleans
She lived in a world of magic
Possessed by the devil's skew
From her shack near the swampland
Made of mud-pie brick
Marie stirred her witch's brew
[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
[Verse 2]
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 morning, into murky swamp dew
Vanished Marie with hate in her eyes
Though she'll never return
All the Cajuns knew
A witch queen never dies
[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
[Outro]
Marie (Marie) La-Voodoo-Veau
She'll put a spell on you
Marie (Marie) La-Voodoo-Veau
She'll put a spell on you...
