Way down in Louisiana Among the tall grown sugar canes Lived a simple man and a dominicker hen And a rose of a different name
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
The devil made me do it the first time The second time, I did 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, he threw the pattern away Well she were 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 YouÂŽll find this cain-raising man doing it again
With a rose of a different name
The devil made me do it the first time The second time, I did 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 did it on my own Lord, put a handle on a simple handed man And help me leave that black rose alone
