The Witch Queen of New Orleans Songtext
von Redbone

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 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 skew
From a shack near the swampland with a mud-pie brick
Marie stirred her witch′s 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 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 eye
Though she′ll never return, all the Cajuns knew
A witch queen never die

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 of New Orleans
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
