This song about Marie Laveau paints her in an evil
light, but the original famous Voodoo priestess was
reported to be beautiful, benign, as well as charitable.
Although after her death, her daughter with the
same name, cultivated more of a sinister persona,
so that's the one they must have had in mind.
