Way down in Louisiana amongst the tall grown sugar canes Lived a simple man and a domineerin' hen and a rose of a different name The first time I fell lightly I was standing in the drizzlin' rain With a trembling 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 handed man and help me leave that black rose alone [ harmonica ] When the devil made that woman Lord she threw the pattern away She was built for speed with the tools you need to make a new fool every day Way down deep and dirty on the darker side of shame You caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin with a rose of a different name The devil made me do it the first time... The devil made me do it the first time... [ guitar - harmonica ]
