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
