Black Rose (feat. Buddy Miller)

Way down in Virginia

Amongst the tall grown sugar canes

Lived a simple man and a dominique hen

And a rose of a different name

Well, the first time I fell lightly

I was standing in the drizzling rain

I had a trembling hand and a bottle of gin

And a rose of a different name

Well, 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 gal

And help me leave that black rose alone

When the devil made that man

Lord, he threw the pattern away

He 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

I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin

With a rose of a different name

Well, 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 gal

Help me leave that black rose alone

Well, 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 gal

And help me leave that black rose alone
