Oh, I love my Rosie child - she got the way to make me happy

(Tag): Swing your girl, once around - play it now - play it now, my baby

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Oh Cracklin' 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
Have me a time with a poor man's lady

Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing 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
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie 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 - Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
Girl 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 asks no questions, yeah
