Black Rose

Way down in Louisiana Amongst the tall grown sugar canes Lived a simple man and a dominiker hen And a rose of a different name 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 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 headed man And help me leave that black rose alone When the devil made that woman Hey Lord, he threw the pattern away 'Cause she was built for speed with the tools you need To make a new fool every day Way down deep and dirty And on the darkest side of shame You'll find this cane raising man, brewing a gin With that rose of a different name And 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 Help me leave that black rose alone Yeah, the devil made me do it the first time The second time, I done it on my own Whoa Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man Help me leave that black rose alone
