A rural blues influence song. A clandestine relationship in the Deep South
lyrics
Black Rose
Black Rose
What am I doing here
Black Rose
You know (what) I really fear
Black Rose
What do you think there’ll do
Black Rose
If they find me here with you
VERSE 2
Black Rose
When you came (in)to this town
Black Rose
(That’s when) the word soon spread around
Black Rose
With your sultry skin
Black Rose
When can I see you again
VERSE 3
Black Rose
With your voodoo eyes
Black Rose
Water running down your thighs
Black Rose
You all that I can see
Black Rose
You’ve got a spell on me
VERSE 4
Black Rose
I hear that bull whip crack
Black Rose
Tear the skin right off your back
Black Rose
I hear you moan
Black Rose
You’ll never be on your own.
VERSE 5
Black Rose
Steal away across that track
Black Rose
I’ll steal away but I’ll be back
Black Rose
I’ll come callin’ when the night is black
Black Rose
Round the back door of your shack
VERSE 6
Black Rose
I must be insane
Black Rose
You.ve got me crawlin back again
Black Rose
You’ve gotta hold on me
Black Rose
Take away this misery
Take away this misery
Black Rose(S)UM um um um (K)
Black Rose(S)UM um um um (K)
Black Rose
Black Rose
