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
