Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

  Way down in Virginia

  Amongst the tall grown sugar canes

  Lived a simple man and a domineering hen

  And a rose of a different name

Verse 2

  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

Chorus

  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 handed man

  And help me leave that black rose alone

Verse 3

  When the devil made that woman

  Lord she threw the pattern away

  She was built for speed with the tools you need

  To make a new fool every day

Verse 4

  Way down deep and dirty

  On the darker side of shame

  I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin

  With a rose of a different name

Chorus
