    Thumbs up It's driving me crazy!!

    I'm looking for a song title and artist for a song that I've heard maybe 2 or three times total. The story line in the song is about a man who tricks a witch in the swamp into giving over all her gold because he has convinced her that he loves her and wants to marry her. She finds out his deception and casts a spell on him. The only line i know in the song is " ooooowwww Wwwweeee....another man done gone". I believe it came out in the 70's. Someone help!

    thanks!

    "Marie Leveau"- Bobby Bare

    The most famous of the voodoo queens that ever existed
    Is Marie Laveau, down in Louisiana
    There's a lot of weird, ungodly tales about Marie,
    She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions, spells and curses....

    Down in Lou'siana where the black trees grow live a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux

    She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
    She got a black cat tooth and a mojo bone and anyone wouldn't leave her alone
    She live 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 you messin' round there
    She go GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
    And then one night when the moon was black into the swamp came Handsome Jack
    A no good man that you all know and he was lookin' around for Marie Lavaux

    He said Marie Lavaux you lovely witch why don't you gimme a little charm gonna make me rich
    He said now gimme million dollars and I'll tell you what I'll do, this very night I'm gonna marry you

    It'll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
    But ol' Handsome Jack said "Good-bye Marie, you too damn ugly for a man like me"
    So Marie did some magic and she shook a little sand, she made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
    Then she looked and she said hey hey, Now I'm gettin' ready for my wedding day
    So Marie started cryin', her fangs started shakin', her body started turnin', she started quakin'

    She said GREEEEEEEEEEEE another man done gone
    And if she ever asks you to make her your wife, man you better stay with her for the rest of your life
    So if you ever get down where the black tree grow and meet a voodoo lady named Marie Lavaux

    Or it'll be GREEEEEEEEEEEE....
