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 shoulder

'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind



It's those honky tonk women

That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues



I laid a divorcee in New York City

I had to put up some kind of a fight

I laid her then she covered me with roses

She blew my nose and then she blew my mind



It's those honky tonk women

That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues



Alright



It's those honky tonk women

That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

It's those honky tonk women

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
