Capo on the 3rd fret.

Verse 1:
                       
	Way down in Virginia
                                      
	Amongst the tall grown sugar canes
                                  
	Lived a simple man and a domineering hen
                                  
	And a rose of a different name


Verse 2:
                              
	The first time i fell lightly
                                         
	I was standing in the drizzling rain
                                    
	With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin
                                  
	And a rose of a different name


Chorus:
                                    
	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


Verse 3:
                            
	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


Verse 4:
                        
	Way down deep and dirty
                               
	On the darker side of shame
	                                
	I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin
                                   
	With a rose of a different name


Chorus(x2).
