Black Rose

Way down in Virginia
Amongst the tall grown sugar cane
Lived a simple man and a Dominique hen
And a rose of a different name
The first time I felt lightning
I was standing in the drizzling rain
With a tremblin' hand and a bottle of gin
And 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 this simple headed man
Help me leave that black rose alone
When the devil made that woman
Lord he threw the pattern away
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
You'll find this cuttin' raisin' man doing it again
With that 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 this simple headed man
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 this si
