I met a gypsy barroom queen in Memphis
An' on the street the summer sun did shine
The sweetest rose that ever grow in Memphis
I just can't seem to drink her off-a my mind

She's a honky tonk woman, yeah
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues, yeah!
She's a honky tonk woman woo-hoo
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorce in New York City
An' had to pick myself out of a fight
Ladies they all covered me with roses
She blew my nose an'then she blew my mind

Well, she's a honky tonk woman yeah woo, Lord, hey hey
Give me, give me, give me, the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman woo-ooo-hoo
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues

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

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