Way down in Louisiana amongst the tall grown sugar canes
Lived a simple man and a domineerin' hen and a rose of a
different name

The first time I fell lightly I was standing in the
drizzlin' 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 done it
on my own

Lord put a handle on a simple handed man and help me leave that
black rose alone
[ harmonica ]

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
Way down deep and dirty on the darker side of shame
You caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin with a

rose of a different name
The devil made me do it the first time...
The devil made me do it the first time...

[ guitar - harmonica ]
