[G]
Way down [C] in Virginia, [G] amongst the tall-grown [D] sugar cane,
[G] Lived a simple [C] man and a Dominica [D] hen, and a rose of a different [G] name.
Well, the first time I [C] felt lightning, [G] I was standing in [D] drizzling rain,
[G] With a trembling [C] hand and a bottle of gin, [D] and a rose of [G] a different name.
Well, the devil made me do [C] it the first time, [G] the second time I've done it [D] on my own,
[G] Thought put a handle [C] on the simple-headed man and [D] helped me leave that black [G] rose alone.

the devil made [C] that woman, [G] Lord, he threw the pine and [D] the wing,
[G] She was built to speed [C] with the tools you need to [D] make a new fool [G] every day.
Way down deep [C] and dirty, [G] on the darkest side [D] of shame,
I [G] caught a cane-cutting man [C] and a bottle of gin, [D] with a rose of [G] a different name.
The devil made me do [C] it the first time, [G] the second time I've done it [D] on my own,
