Madame Mary

Once upon a time, back in my life (Madame Mary) I became addicted to a girl and what a vice She misused men about every thought of roam But I would sweat it out My love for her was just that strong I never believed in love potion Never known such distortion So off I set to find A witch doctor to ease my mind Madame Mary, if you'll have the time Work out some sweet spell That it might ease my mind I never thought a spell could ever follow me But I was wrong for this girl so tenderly She possessed me in ways I've never seen (Madame Mary) That it took my heart and tore it apart Oh, she was so very mean Now with all the pain and sorrow Could leave me by tomorrow I'd gladly pay the price And right on the sacrifice Madame Mary, help me if you will There's not too much more of me Before I'm over the hill She said, "Run to your grocery store Find an old potato Don't forget the buttermilk Bring a ripe tomato Shave the back hair of your cat Layin' on the floor Take a taste and don't let it waste That might help ya, I don't know" I'm off to find her, Madame Mary I'm off to find her, Madame Mary Everything, she had a way She had a way, now what I say Gotta find her Gotta find her Madame Mary Madame Mary I'm off to find her Madame Mary I'm off to find her
