  • Oh, oh, Carmelina
    The daughter of the wealthy banker
    Since she came to town all my friends are gone
    And I'm stuck out here with melody

    Saddle up the palomino, the sun is going down
    The way I feel, this must be real

    If you can't cut it, don't pick up the knife
    There's no reward in your conscience stored
    When you're sleepin' with another man's wife

    Saddle up the palomino, the sun is going down
    The way I feel, this must be real

    I want to lick the platter, the gravy doesn't matter
    It's a cold bowl of chili when love lets you down
    But it's the neighbor's wife I'm after

    Saddle up the palomino, the sun is going down
    The way I feel, this must be real Writer/s: Bobby Charles, Neil Young, Tim Drummond
