Devil Woman by Cliff Richard (The 60s and 70s- the golden age of witch songs)
New Orleans has long been America s most magical city, inhabited by a fascinating visible and invisible world, full of mysteries, known for its decadence and haunted by its spirits. Denise Alvarado s Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, and Hoodoo Saints is the book I wish I could have read as my introduction to the folklore of New Orleans.
Her home, a grand mansion tucked away in the heart of the French Quarter, is shrouded in secrecy and surrounded by an air of mysticism. The walls drip with history, and the scent of incense lingers in the air. Visitors claim to feel an otherworldly presence when they pass by, a testament to the power and energy that emanates from within.

Of new orleans.
I'm gonna tell you a story
Strange as it now seems
of zombie voodoo gris gris
and the witch-queen of new orleans.
she lived in a magic possessed
by the devils skew
from a shack near the swamp lands
made of mud be brick.
marie stirred her witches brew.
Marie
marie.
Dime or a nickel anyone could buy
voodoo of any kind
she had potions and lotions herb
and tanna leaves guaranteed to blow your mind
early one mornin' into mucky swamp
dew vanished marie with hate in her eyes
tho' she'll never return all the cajuns knew
a witch-queen never dies.
