"Cracklin' Rosie"

(As recorded by Neil Diamond)
NEIL DIAMOND

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
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

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 women
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 alright
'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, well that's alright
'Cause we got all night, to set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
