Yea, cracklin’ rosie, get on board
We’re gonna ride ’til there ain’t no more to go
Takin’ it slow, lord don’t you know,
Happily a time when the poor man’s let be

Hitchin’ on a twilight train,
Ain’t nothin’ here that I care to take along,
Maybe a song to sing when I’m long,
Don’t mean to say please, said old man, I’m happy too

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,
You make me sing like a guitar hummin
Hang on to me, girl, our song keeps runnin’ on
Play it now, play it now, play it now my lady!

Cracklin rosie, make me smile
Darl’in if lasts for an hour well that’s alright we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream and don’t ask no questions yea!

Chorus

[in fishman’s version:]

Bah, bah bah bah bah
Bah, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah
Bah, bah bah bah bah
Bah, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
