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 a long,
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.
Crackl’lin’ 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, 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!
Cracklin’ Rosie, make me a smile
And, 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!
