Shane Macgowan And The Popes - Cracklin Rosie Lyrics

(Neil Diamond, arranged by Shane MacGowan)

Cracklin' Rosie get on board
We gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Takin' it slow, lord don't you know
I had me a time with a poor man's lady yeah!

Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here I'd care to take along
'Cept maybe a song to sing when I want
Don't 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 woman
You got me like a guitar humin'
Hang on girl,
Our song keeps runnin' on,
Play it now, play it now, play it now my baby

Oh I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
Oh, you know we go in style
Cracklin' Rose you're a store bought woman
You got me like a guitar humin'
Hang on girl,
Our song keeps runnin' on,
Play it now, play it now, play it now my baby

Cracklin' Rosie make me smile
And girl well, if it lasts for an hour, well that's all right
'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
Oh you know we go in style
Cracklin' Rose you're a store bought woman
You got me singing like a guitar humin'
Hang on girl,
'Cause our song keeps runnin' on,
Play it now, play it now, play it now my baby
