I met a gin soaked bar-room queen in Memphis She tried to take me upstairs for a ride She had to heave me right across her shoulder 'Cos I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
It's the honky, tonky woman Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcee in New York City I had to put up some kind for a fight The lady then she covered me with roses She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
It's the honky tonk, tonky woman Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
