Ah, 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 there 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

Oho I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rose you're a store-bought woman
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, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie  make me a smile
God 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
