I met her, in some barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'but I just can't seem to drink her off my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues


Then later, she'd covered me with roses
She had to take me upstairs for a ride
Later she could do do do na na na na
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blue

--- Instrumental ---

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
