INTRO: Way down in Virginia 'mongst the tall grown sugarcane Lived a simple man and a dominacre hen And a rose of a different name Well the first time I felt lightnin' I was standin' in the drizzlin' 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 SOLO When the devil made that woman Lord he threw the pattern away 'Cause she were built for speed with the tools you need To make a new fool every day Now way down deep and dirty On the darkest side of shame You'll find this cane-cuttin' man a-doin' it again With that rose of a different name CHORUS (2x)
