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
You'll 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
