Neil Young - Saddle Up The Palomino

From American Stars'n Bars (1977)
------------------------------------------------
SADDLE UP THE PALOMINO

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 wanna 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.

Linda Ronstadt and Nicolette Larson backup vocals (credited as "The Saddlebags"). Story is they thought Neil was just rehearsing.

Dylan in drag?. Her name was Connie Moskos, an actress who was a good friend of David Briggs.

@elpmanticore no it's really Jimi Hendrix, I read it it Rolling Stone.

I love Neil and really love it when he does his version of Country.

@ChevKen I am, did some research and is actually a woman, though I didn't recognize her name. Someone told me that years ago, I feel so deceived.

@elpmanticore Please be wrong.

The lady on the cover is actually Dylan in Drag, critically maligned, but a bunch of great tunes.

The only Neil Young song worth a Damn!
