Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson - Black Rose lyrics

Way down in Louisiana amongst the tall grown sugar canes

Lived a simple man and a domineerin' hen and a rose of a different name

The first time I fell lightly I was standing in the drizzlin' rain

With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name

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

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

Way down deep and dirty on the darker side of shame

You caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin with a rose of a different name

The devil made me do it the first time...

The devil made me do it the first time...
