Billy Joe Shaver - Black Rose Lyrics
Way down in VirginiaAmongst the tall grown sugar canesLived a simple man and a dominiker henAnd a rose of a different name.Well, the first time I felt lightningI was standing in the drizzling rainWith a trembling hand and a bottle of ginAnd a rose of a different name.Well, the devil made me do it the first timeThe second time I done it on my ownLord, put a handle on a simple headed manAnd help me leave that black rose alone.--- Instrumental ---When the devil made that womanLord, she threw the pattern awayShe was built for speed with the tools you needTo make a new fool every day.Way down deep and dirtyOn the darker side of shameI caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of ginWith a rose of a different name.The devil made me do it the first timeThe second time I done it on my ownLord, put a handle on a simple headed manHelp me leave that black rose alone.The devil made me do it the first timeThe second time I done it on my ownLord, put a handle on a simple headed manHelp me leave that black rose alone...
