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...
