Cracklin’ Rosie, get on board, we’re gonna ride till there ain’t no more to go.
Takin’ it slow, and Lord don’t you know
I’ll have me a time with a poor man’s lady!
Hitchin’ on a twilight train; ain’t nothing here that I care to take along,
Maybe a song, to sing when I want.
Don’t need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Oh, I love my Rosie child; you got the way to make me happy,
You and me, we go in style.
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store bought woman,
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’.
So hang on to me, girl, our song keeps runnin’ on.
Play it now! Play it now! Play it now my baby.
Cracklin’ Rosie make me a smile, and girl if it lasts for an hour, well that’s all right
We got all night to set the world right.
Find us a dream that don’t ask no questions yeah!
Oh, I love my Rosie child; you got the way to make me happy,
You and me, we go in style.
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store bought woman,
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’.
So hang on to me, girl, our song keeps runnin’ on.
Play it now! Play it now! Play it now my baby.
