WILLIE NELSON
- 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
[ harmonica ]
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...
[ guitar - harmonica ]
When we try to interpret the meaning, Willie Nelson uses the black rose metaphor to describe his battle with temptation, which leads to him facing its consequences, in his song Black Rose. The black rose lyrics focus more on expressing heartbreak and emotional distress while showing the singer's current state of deep sadness and frustration. The song expresses two fundamental aspects which include the need to resist temptation and the battle against wrongful behavior and the path to achieving personal redemption. The lyrics include two alcohol references through the term 'bottle of gin' and the depiction of a character who battles between his desires and his ethical values, which makes the content better suited for mature listeners. The song's repeated references to both the 'devil' and the 'black rose' present adult content, which includes strong visual elements, that may prove too intense for young children.
