I'm gonna tell you a story, strange as it now seems,

Of Zombie voodoo gris - gris, and the Witch Queen of New Or - leans,
     Em7
She lived in a world of magic, possessed by the Devil's skew,
        Em7
From a shack, near the swampland, made of mud - pile brick, 
     Em7               A7    Em7
Ma - rie stirred her witch's brew!

Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy...voodoo of any kind,

She had potions & lotions, herbs & tanna leaves, guaranteed to blow your mind,
 Em7
