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