Aw, Cracklin´ Rosie, get on board
We´re gonna ride
Till there ain´t no more to go
Taking it slow
And Lord, don´t you know
We´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
No 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
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
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don´t ask no questions
Ba ba ba ba ba......
