[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Saddle up the palomino
The sun is going down
The way I feel
This must be real
[Verse 2]
If you can't cut it
Don't pick up the knife
There's no reward
In your conscience stored
When you're sleeping
With another man's wife
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
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]
