Way down [D] in Virginia [A] amongst the tall [B]-grown [E] sugar cane _
[A] There's a simple [D] man and a Dominica [E] hen and a rose of a different [A] name _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, the first time I [D] felt lightning _ [A] I was standing in the [E] drizzling rain
_ [A] With a trembling hand [D] and a bottle of [E] gin and a rose of a [A] different name _ _ _ _ _
Well, the devil made me do [D] it the first time, [A] the second time I done it [E] on my own
The [A] Lord put a handle [D] on this simple-headed man, [E] helped me leave that black [A] rose alone _

When the devil _ [D] made that woman, [A] Lord, he threw the pattern [E] away _
[A] She was built for [Bm] speed with the tools you need [E] to make a new fool of [A] everything _
_ _ _ _ Now, way down [Am] deep [D] and dirty [A] on the darkest side of [E] shame
[A] You'll find this cane-cutting man [D] doing it again with [E] that rose of a different [A] name _ _ _ _
Well, the devil made me do it [D] the first time, [A] the second time I done it on [E] my own
_ [A] The Lord put a handle on [D] this simple-headed [E] man, helped me leave that black [A] rose alone _
Yeah, the devil made me do [D] it the first time, [A] the second time I done it on my [E] own _
[A] Yeah, the Lord put a handle [D] on this simple-headed man, [E] helped me leave that black [A] rose alone _
