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
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

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
