To make a new fool every day
Devil made me do it the first time
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man
On the darker side of shame
Lived a simple man and a dominiker hen
And help me leave that black rose alone
When the Devil made that woman
Lord, it threw the pattern away
The Devil made me do it the first time
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
Help me leave that black rose alone
The second time I done it on my own
She was built for speed with the tools you need
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man
I was standing in the drizzling rain
Well, the first time I felt lightning
With a rose of a different name
The second time I done it on my own
And a rose of a different name
I caught a cane cuttin' man and a bottle of gin
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin
Way down deep and dirty
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man
