I met a gin-soaked barrom 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 her of my mind

It's a honky tonk woman

gimme gimme gimme

the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorce in New York City

I had to pull out of some kind of a fight

the lady there she covered me in roses

she blew my nose and then she blew my mind

It's a honky tonk woman

gimme gimme gimme

the honky tonk blues

It's a honky tonk woman

gimme gimme gimme

the honky tonk blues

It's a honky tonk woman

gimme gimme gimme

the honky tonk blues
