Lyrics:

Written by: Neil Diamond



Cracklin' Rosie, get on board

We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go

Taking it slow

Lord, don't you know

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

Girl if it lasts for an hour, that's all right

Cause 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



Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile

Girl if it lasts for an hour, that's all right

Cause we got all night

To set the world right

Find us a dream that don't ask no questions
