INTRO: A
A D
Way down in Virginia
A E
'mongst the tall grown sugarcane
A D
Lived a simple man and a dominacre hen
E A
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
A D
The devil made me do it the first time
A E
The second time I done it on my own
A D
Lord put a handle on this simple-headed man
E A
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)
