Sides face, grand square
Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady name Marie Laveau
She's got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
4 ladies chain across
You turn and chain 'em home
Left allemande and weave
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
Swing Marie and promenade that bog
She'd go - (growl) - another man done gone

Heads promenade 1/2 round that swamp
Wade in and square thru 4 hands round
Swing thru and the boys run, couples circulate
Chain down the line, square thru 3/4
Corner swing and promenade and sing
(growl) - another man done gone

Sides face, grand square
Handsome Jack said, "Marie, I'll tell you the truth"
"Make me rich, and I'll marry you."
So Marie done some magic, shook a little sand
4 ladies chain across
You turn and chain 'em home
Left allemande and weave
She giggled and she wiggled and said "Hey, Hey"
(growl) - another man done gone

Sides face, grand square
But old handsome Jack said, "Goodbye Marie"
"You're too ugly for a rich man like me"
Marie started mumbling, her fangs started gnashing
4 ladies chain across, you turn and chain 'em home
She went left allemande and weave
If Marie ever asks you to make her your wife
You better swing and promenade her the rest of your life
Or she'll go - (growl) another man done gone
