Billy Joe Shaver - Black Rose lyrics

Artist: Billy Joe Shaver

album: Live at Billy Bob's Texas


Way down in Louisiana
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes
Lived a simple man and a dominiker hen
And a rose of a different name
Well, the first time I felt lightning
I was standing in the drizzling rain
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin
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
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man
And help me leave that black rose alone
When the devil made that woman
Hey Lord, he threw the pattern away
'Cause she was built for speed with the tools you need
To make a new fool every day
Way down deep and dirty
And on the darkest side of shame
You'll find this cane raising man, brewing a gin
With that rose of a different name
And 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 headed man
Help me leave that black rose alone
Yeah, the devil made me do it the first time
The second time, I done it on my own
Whoa Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man
Help me leave that black rose alone
