written by Billy Joe Shaver performed by Waylon Jennings [Intro] E [Verse 1]
 E              A
Way down in Virginia

            E                 B
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes

        E                A
Lived a simple man and a dominicker hen

      B                    E
And a rose of a different name
[Verse 2]
          E                  A
Well, the first time I felt lightning

      E                          B
I was standing in the drizzling rain

       E                    A
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin

      B                    E
And a rose of a different name
[Chorus]
        E                       A
Was the devil made me do it the first time

    E                            B
The second time I done it on my own

E                       A
Lord, put a handle on a simple-headed man

            B                      E
And help me leave that black rose alone
[Instrumental] E A E B E A B E E [Verse 3]
         E                A
When the devil made that woman

         E                   B
Lord, he threw the pattern away

        E                        A
She was built for speed with the tools you need

          B               E
To make a new fool every day
[Verse 4]
E                  A
Way down deep and dirty

       E                B
On the darker side of shame

           E                      A
I caught a cane cuttin' man and a bottle of gin

       B                    E
With a rose of a different name
[Chorus]
    E                       A
The devil made me do it the first time

    E                            B
The second time I done it on my own

E                       A
Lord, put a handle on a simple-headed man

            B                      E
And help me leave that black rose alone

    E                       A
The devil made me do it the first time

    E                            B
The second time I done it on my own

E                       A
Lord, put a handle on a simple-headed man

            B                      E
And help me leave that black rose alone
