Verse: E A Way down in Virginia E B Amongst the tall grown sugar canes E A Lived a simple man and a domineering hen B E And a rose of a different name E A The first time i fell lightly E B I was standing in the drizzling rain E A With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin B E And a rose of a different name Chorus: E A The devil made me do it the first time E B The second time i done it on my own E A Lord put a handle on a simple handed man B E And help me leave that black rose alone Verse: E A When the devil made that woman E B Lord she threw the pattern away E A She was built for speed with the tools you need B E To make a new fool every day E A Way down deep and dirty E B On the darker side of shame E A I caught a cane cuttinʼ man with a bottle of gin B E With a rose of a different name Chorus. x2
