G5              C5                  G5         D5 
Way down in Virginia, amongst the tall sugar canes 
         G5               C5                     D5                    G5 
lived a simple man and a domineering hen, and a rose of a different name 
 

    G5                 C5              G5                        D5                    
The first time I fell lightly, I was standin' in the drizzlin' rain  
       G5                    C5                  D5                   G5 
with a tremblin' hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name

    G5                        C5              G5                          D5             
The devil made me do it the first time, the second time I done it on my own 
G5                       C5                            D5                     G5  
Lord put a handle on a simple minded man and help me leave that black rose alone

When the devil made that woman, he must of threw the pattern away 
She was built for the speed, with the tool you need to make a new fool everyday 
 
Way down deep and dirty, on the darker side of strange 
I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name
