Hoodoo Queen performed by Charlie Musselwhite From the album The Well When the storm hit New Orleans A plan was hatched in a sorcerer's dream While black water rose he entertained dark thoughts And came up with a plan, a hoodoo scheme In a search for power he needs some bones In the dead of night he creeps from home And at the grave the full moon rose He wants to steal the bones of Marie Laveau Afraid of the dark he waited 'til dawn But by then them bones was long gone In the mud was a note lying there on the lawn Said, "Too late, sucker, Dr. John done been here and gone." Been here and gone Been here and gone Now Dr. John got the power, the power of Marie Laveau
