Billy Joe ShaverThe Devil Made Me Do It the First Time Lyrics
Way down in Louisiana
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes
Lived a simple man and a dominicker 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
Yeah, 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
Yeah, Lord, he threw the pattern away
She was built for speed with the tools you need
To make a new fool everyday
Way down deep and dirty
On the darker side of shame
You'll find this cane raisin' man doin' it again
With that 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 headed man
Help me leave that black rose alone
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
