Once upon a time back in my life
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
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 potata
Don't forget the buttermilk
Bring a ripe tomata
Shave the back hair of your cat
A 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,by, The impressions

What do you think it's about??

Please note, I copied these lyrics from a website, so some of them might be wrong, I only just learned the song was called Madam Mary, I'd been singing along singing Mighty Mary. I got a couple of copied CDs ages ago of an old pal, all impressions and Curtis, so no tracklist, this was 1 of my favourites, if not then, my favourite. I found it elsewhere online a couple of days ago

Forgive me but I'm wondering what the philosophical discussion is that you want to talk about?
Wouldn't this get better discussion in the music or poetry forum?
I'm not implying anything, just asking?

I was torn between this, and mysterious phenomena, and then I thought of you, and your scientific mind, and ugly toes, so I put it here

Just a guess...Alcoholism or addictions?
