Is it true.... what they say?
Is it true... about Marie Laveau?
(repeat once)
They say that she's the Voodoo Queen.
She's the Witch Doctor Mama of New Orleans.
She likes to dance naked to the light of the Moon.
Then she sends her Zombie People out into the streets.
She sleeps in a sarcophagus, given to her by the Pirate Jean Lafitte.
She'll make a dead man up and rise from the grave or put a spell on you so you can't even eat.
Is it true she can fly? ….Well, you know that it is.
Is it true she can fly? ….On the wings of a bat.
Is it true she can move? …Like a big python snake.
Is it true she can change? ...Into a big black cat.
Is it true.... “ “
Hush little baby, don't you know...
bad children go to Marie Laveau.
She smokes em' like hams in her chimney at night.
Before she goes out prowling she likes to take a little bite.
Is it true she can fly? ….Well, you know that it is.
Is it true she can fly? ….On the wings of a bat.
Is it true she can move? …Like a big python snake.
Is it true she can change? ...Into a big black cat.
Is it true.... “ “
Some say she still walks the French Quarter Streets.
She hasn't aged in over 200 years.
She gotah big hoop earrings... cowrie shells on her feet
She gotah a little black bag of hope and fears.
She got sage rub...
Mojo Hand...
She gotah... Black Magic.... Black Magic....
It's all true what they say about Marie Laveau.
