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