(Billy Joe Shaver) 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. --- Instrumental --- 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...
