1. I’m gonna tell you a story, strange as it
now seems,
Em
A Em A
of
zombie, voodoo, gris gris,
and the witch queen of New Orleans.
Em
A Em A
She lived in a world of magic,
possessed by the devil’s skew,
Em A
from
a shack near the swamplands, made of mud-brown brick,
Em A Em
Marie stirred the witches
brew. + CHORUS
Em A Em A
2. Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy voodoo of any kind,
Em A
she
had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves,
Em A
guaranteed
to blow your mind.
Em A
Early one morning into mud,
the swamp dew
Em A
vanished
Marie with hate in her eyes,
Em
A
though
she never returned, all the cajuns knew,
Em A Em
a witch
queen never dies. + CHORUS ....
