Cracklin' Rosie Lyrics

Lyric discussion by pinback 

Cover art for Cracklin' Rosie lyrics by Neil Diamond

Well, I read in an article (presumably by Neil) that he thought to write the song after visiting an Indian reservation one night. He said the men had nothing to do but sit around and drink cheap wine which I believe was called "Cranklin Rosie". Store-bought woman that knows how to make them happy. Kinda sad, but a fun song to listen to.
