Well, I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulders
'Cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind
It was honky tonk women
They gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
There was a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
Lady said she'd covered me in roses
Yeah, she blew my nose and then she blew my mind
It was honky tonk women (honky tonk women, yeah)
They gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues, hey
(Ooh, yeah)
(Oh)
(Hey)
It was honky tonk women (oh, the honky tonk women, yeah)
They gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
All these honky tonk women
Yeah, they gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Yeah, those honky tonk women
Yeah, they gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
