Way down in Virginia 
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes 
Lived a simple man and a Dominique hen 
And a rose of a different name. 

Well, the first time I fell lightly 
I was standing in the drizzling rain 
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin 
And a rose of a different name. 

Well, the devil made me do it the first time 
The second time I done it on my own 
Lord, put a handle on a simple handed man 
And help me leave that black rose alone. 

When the devil made that woman 
Lord, she threw the pattern away 
She was built for speed with the tools 
You need to make a new fool every day. 

Way down deep and dirty 
On the darker side of shame 
I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin 
With a rose of a different name. 

The devil made me do it the first time 
The second time I done it on my own 
Lord, put a handle on a simple handed man 
And help me leave that black rose alone. 

The devil made me do it the first time 
The second time I done it on my own 
Lord, put a handle on a simple handed man 
And help me leave that black rose alone...
