Cracklin' Rosie

(album: In My Lifetime - 1996)

Aw, Crackling 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

Hitching 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
Crackling Rose,
You're a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar humming
So hang on to me, girl,
Our song keeps running on
Play it now, play it now
Play it now, my baby

Crackling 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
Crackling Rose,
You're a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar humming
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps running on
Play it now, play it now
Play it now, my baby

Crackling 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 ......
