Glad to help....great tune. The band I used to play in did this one.

Cracklin' Rosie
Neil Diamond, 1970

Cracklin' Rosie get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Takin' it slow -- And Lord don't you know
I'll 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.

(bridge)
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.
But, you make me feel 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 smile
And, girl if it lasts for an hour, that's alright
We got all night -- to set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah!

(bridge)

Cracklin' Rosie make me smile
And, girl if it lasts for an hour, that's alright
We got all night -- to set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, Ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba-baŠ

I once bought a bottle of wine by Paul Masson that's called Cracklin'
Rose (Darn, I wish this keyboard could do an accent aigu in French--it's
pronounced Ros-ay) All of a sudden I could see this wine as a
"store-bought woman" and I suppose if I drank enough, I'd feel like "the
bees are hummin'". If i recall correctly, it didn't cost much and, a la
Thunderbird, could probably be found in the company of a hobo on a
"twilight train." Anybody else suppose this is what Diamond is singing
about?

The girls name in the song is Rose, and her nickname is Cracklin Rose,
after the wine of the same name...no big secret.
