Holly Tannen, who started this thread, actually did record MARIE LAVEAU on her album "Crazy Laughter," 2007. There is a sound sample on CDBaby:

Ain't too many women in this Creole town
Born and live and die black and free,
But I know one rules the rich and the poor.
Ain't nobody tellin' her what to do.

CHORUS: Marie Laveau, vous êtes la reine,
La reine, la reine ...
