I met a ginsoaked 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
It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcee in New York City I had to put up some kind off a flight The lady then she covered me with roses She blew my nose and then she blew my mind It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I strolled on the boulevard bars of Paris As naked as the day that I will die The sellers they're so charming there in Paris But they just don't seem to sail you off my mind
It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
