I stay there with a barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

She was a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues, oh yeah
She was a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

I stayed there divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then she covered me in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

She was honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
The honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues, oh yeah

She was honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
She was a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

She was honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues, yeah, yeah
She was a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
