I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis

She tried to take me upstairs for a ride

She had to heave me right across her shoulders

I just can't seem to drink you off my mind



She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues



I laid a divorcee in New York City

I had to put up some kind of a fight

I laid her then she covered me in roses


She blew my nose and then she blew my mind



She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues



She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues



She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues



She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
