capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherIntro
Verse 1
Way down in Virginia
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes
Lived a simple man and a dominicker hen
And a rose of a different name
Verse 2
Well, the first time I felt lightning
I was standing in the drizzling rain
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin
And a rose of a different name
Chorus
Was 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
And help me leave that black rose alone
Instrumental
Verse 3
When the devil made that woman
Lord, he threw the pattern away
She was built for speed with the tools you need
To make a new fool every day
Verse 4
Way down deep and dirty
On the darker side of shame
I caught a cane cuttin' man and a bottle of gin
With a rose of a different name
Chorus
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
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-headed man
And help me leave that black rose alone
