Willie Nelson - Me & Paul (2004) - Black Rose lyrics

  • Way down in Louisiana amongst the tall grown sugar canes
    Lived a simple man and a domineerin' hen and a rose of a different name
    The first time I fell lightly I was standing in the drizzlin' rain
    With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name
    The devil made me do it the first time the second time I done it on my own
    Lord put a handle on a simple handed man and help me leave that black rose alone

    When the devil made that woman Lord she threw the pattern away
    She was built for speed with the tools you need to make a new fool every day
    Way down deep and dirty on the darker side of shame
    You caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin with a rose of a different name
    The devil made me do it the first time...
    The devil made me do it the first time...
