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

Chorus:
E
Saddle up the palomino,
     A
the sun is going down.
     D     F#7
The way I feel,
      G       E7  Bdim7 C#7 D
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

Chorus:
Saddle up the palomino
The sun is going down
The way I feel, this must be real
Ooh ooh ooh, whoa

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

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