Cracklin' Rosie Lyrics

Cover art for Cracklin' Rosie lyrics by Neil Diamond

Ok, pinback, Rayman and sing em, you've all got parts of the idea. I heard Neil once describe the origins of the song, it was about an Indian reservation where the women greatly outnumber the men. For the guys who miss out, a bottle of wine becomes their woman for the night. The title Cracklin Rosie is a play on rose wine. I think the bits about aftershave lotion and blow up dolls are the product of over fertile imaginations though.
