GC9GD
Way down in Virginia, amongst the tall sugar canes
GC9DG
lived a simple man and a domineering hen, and a rose of a different name
GC9GD
The first time I fell lightly, I was standin' in the drizzlin' rain
GC9DG
with a tremblin' hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name
Refr'o -------------
GC9GD
The devil made me do it the first time, the second time I done it on my own
GC9DG
Lord put a handle on a simple minded man and help me leave that black rose alone
--------------------
Solo
When the devil made that woman, he must of threw the pattern away
She was built for the speed, with the tool you need to make a new fool everyday
Way down deep and dirty, on the darker side of strange
I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name
