I met a gin soakedbar-room queen in Memphis She tried to take me upstairs for a ride '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 of a fight 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. nothing hides like the light at which you cannot stare
