[thespeez]

I remember being no more than 5 y/o hearing this on the car radio of our family's 1967 Ford Ranch Wagon on a trip to see family in southern New Jersey while on the approach to the Delaware Memorial Bridge and thinkin' it was a happenin' tune.

MUSIC THERAPY from NEIL DIAMOND

[randyjones123]

rosie was a 15 year old prostitute that he wrote about i think. he calls her young and rents he for an hour

[Brice21102]

I've been a fan of ND since i was a child but ive started to learn the lyrics as of late because my wife of 26 years is named Rosie and this song depicts to some extent our relationship. Thanks to motowngirl65 and The x Doctorx for giving the tips on the origin of the song

[mashfan90]

lols never new dat bout the wine but looking at the lytrics now it does make sensse and make it seem more sad 2

[mdaeleman123]

Lovely song to dance to.

[Getrealpeeps]

Was there ever a Barbara Streisand Neil Diamond concert ? I bet that would have been SLAMMING!!!

[donniebrasco24]

my cracklin rose has 5 sisters... ;)

[pennylonglane]

Ha! I always thought it was 'Cracklin' Rose you're a stalwart woman...' What a shame, I always liked that lyric - kinda talking about her loyalty and strength. So it turns out she's a bottle of wine....

[091680]

@pennylonglane I like that. I used to think the lyric was "Cracklin' Rose you're a stubborn woman" Which I kinda liked being a stubborn woman myself ;)

[RoseBeautyDuffy]

[RickyGervaisFreak]

I love this song!! I love how he sings it! :)

[Annamandabella]

Hmmm.. I still think this song is about Neil Diamond getting a venereal disease from a "Btore Bought Woman" that he picked up at a train stop, hence the itchy twilight. 

[RBW309]

Skate 3 brought me here, Won't lie . . . my fav tune of the game though :)

[ehta1956]

[skatehaliak]

me and my dad used to sig this all the time when i was littel and we stil sing it

[Thadesgal]

This was on Jukeboxes all across America. Spewed over the radios and played on our record players. Happy little ditty by one of our finest composers.

[PheremoneJ]

this song was my first single ever. it was a 45 inch. and the song Lordy was on the Bside.

[azbaldy5]

I saw Neil Diamond in concert a few years ago , at the Pepsi center in Denver he was super ! THIS IS MY FAVOURITE NEIL DIAMOND SONG.

[mission762008]

I always thought the song was about his guitar! That was way off...excellent song though from a great songwriter

[55102]

first song that i heard of Neil Diamond, good memories

[GeneEdgin]

I rememmber the jazz singer movie in the early 80's. Thats the greatest song.

[GhostRiderChikGurl]

my mom got me into this song and dedicated it to my guinea pig rosalie. but i nickname her rosie sometimes

[liiz313]

this is a good song=]

[28greenie]

this song always reminds me ov when i went spain n worked in the dollar bar .... a lad called richie used to always sing it lol ..

[motowngirl65]

He's singing about a bottle of cracklin rose wine - isn't he?

[ThexDoctorx]

Yes, he is.

Something about a Native American Tribe that, if the men couldn't get women that night, they would drink Cracklin' Rosie wine.

That's how it all started.

Lol.

[snufpark]

@ThexDoctorx  Canadian Aboriginals, not "Native Americans." Otherwise, you heard the story correctly. Neil Diamond spent time in Northern Canada He told the origin of Cracklin' Rosie to David Wild of Rolling Stone Magazine, and has since spoken of it on television. I remember he passed through Sudbury, Ontario--about 1969. Cracklin' Rosie came out in 1970. The ethnic flavour of most of that album (Taproot Manuscript) however, is African.

[Ian8sg]

@ThexDoctorx the crackling rose is aftershave 

[santanamossfan101]

@ThexDoctorx no he's not he's actualy singing about his guitar like you know how people name their instruments he named his rosie so yeah

[jlfan06]

Yeah, but I still love the song!!! ; )

[purplestuff]

@motowngirl65 A women will leave you for any number of reasons. A bottle of booze will stay with you until you're finished.

[NnaesoRlovescookies]

my mom used to play this in the car and sing and iwould tell her to stop it was so funny and my name is rosie so its kinda cool

[ThexDoctorx]

Haha.

My name is Rosie, too, so that makes the song extra spectacular!

[Pallindrom27]

Five stars and a new favorite!

THIS is one of my personal favorites from the extremely talented Neil Diamond.

I only wish that Elvis would've recorded a cover of THIS Diamond classic as well.

[danial101productions]

hiya,

thanks for the lyrics.

this song makes me sooo happy and now i can sing along.
