Lyrics

Way down in Virginia Amongst the tall grown sugarcane Lived a simple man and a Dominecker hen And a rose of a different name Well, the first time I felt lightening I was standing in 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 headed man Help me leave that black rose alone When the devil made that woman Lord, he threw the pattern away Yeah, she were built for speed with the tools you need To make a new fool everyday Way down deep and dirty On the darkest side of shame I caught a cane cuttin' man doin' it again With 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 headed man Help me leave that black rose alone 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 headed man Help me leave that black rose alone
