Verse: E7 A Way down in Virginia E7 B Amongst the tall grown sugar canes E7 A Lived a simple man and a domineering hen B E7 And a rose of a different name E7 A The first time i fell lightly E7 B I was standing in the drizzling rain E7 A With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin B E7 And a rose of a different name Chorus: E7 A The devil made me do it the first time E7 B The second time i done it on my own E7 A Lord put a handle on a simple handed man B E7 And help me leave that black rose alone Verse: E7 A When the devil made that woman E7 B Lord she threw the pattern away E7 A She was built for speed with the tools you need B E7 To make a new fool every day E7 A Way down deep and dirty E7 B On the darker side of shame E7 A I caught a cane cuttinʼ man with a bottle of gin B E7 With a rose of a different name Chorus. x2
