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 shoulder 'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind [Chorus] It's the honky tonk women That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues [Verse 2] I laid a divorcee in New York City I had to put up some kind of a fight The lady then she covered me in roses She blew my nose and then she blew my mind [Chorus] It's the honky tonk women That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues [Verse 3] Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris Naked as the day that I will die The sailors, they're so charming there in Paris But I just don't seem to sail you off my mind [Chorus] It's the honky tonk women That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues It's the honky tonk women That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
