Song meaning[edit]
Married to a catchy and dynamic melody and arrangement, the lyrics suggested to some a devotion to a woman of the night:[2]
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 sing like a guitar hummin' ..
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 sing like a guitar hummin' ..
But in actuality, Cracklin' Rosie is a type of wine. Diamond heard a story about a native Canadian tribe while doing an interview in Toronto, Canada—the tribe had more men than women, so the lonely men of the tribe would sit around the fire and drink their wine together—which inspired him to write the song.[2]

The title has also been interpreted to be a misspelling of a rosé wine which is 'crackling'—a U.S. term equivalent to pétillant or lightly sparkling.[6] Adobe premiere free download.
Many Diamond fans have traditionally believed the crackling wine he was referring to was Sparkling Mateus Rose, a medium-quality, low-priced artificially carbonated wine favored by college students on the West Coast of the U.S. during the late 1960s and early 1970s, or Richards Wild Irish Rose, an alcoholic beverage produced by Centerra Wine Company, which is part of the Constellation Brands organization.[citation needed]
