Way down in Virginia, amongst the tall sugar canes 
         G               C9                     D                    G 
lived a simple man and a domineering hen, and a rose of a different name 
 
    G                 C9              G                        D                    
The first time I fell lightly, I was standin' in the drizzlin' rain  
       G                    C9                  D                   G 
with a tremblin' hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name 

    G                        C9              G                          D             
The devil made me do it the first time, the second time I done it on my own 
G                       C9                            D                     G  
Lord put a handle on a simple minded man and help me leave that black rose alone 
 
 
Solo 
 
 
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 
 
chorus x2  
 
 
 
not sure if words are correct. let me know how i did
