Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 don't seem to drink you off my mind
[Verse 2]
It's the honk, honky tonk women
Who gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Verse 3]
Well, I met a divorcé in New York City
I just had to put up some kind of a fight (Did you?)
Well, that guy, he tried to cover me with roses (Is that right?)
But he blew my nose and then he blew my mind (She's okay)
[Verse 4]
It's the honk, honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Verse 5]
(Alright, play the guitar)
[Verse 6]
(Yeah, let's do it, shall we?)
[Verse 7]
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Just gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Verse 8]
(Woo)
[Verse 9]
(Lemme hear you shout out)
