Way down in Virginia, amongst the tall sugar canes
lived a simple man and a domineering hen, and a rose of a different name
The first time I fell lightly, 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 a simple minded man and help me leave that black rose alone
