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
