Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ah, 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
[Verse 2]
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothin' 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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Play it now, play it now
Play it now, my baby
[Verse 3]
Cracklin' Rosie, make me smile
And, girl, if it lasts for an hour, well, that's alright
'Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Play it now, play it now
Play it now, my baby
[Verse 4]
Cracklin' Rosie, make me smile
Girl, if it lasts for an hour, well, that's alright
'Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions
