I met a gypsy barroom queen in Memphis   An' on the street the summer sun did shine   The sweetest rose that ever grow in Memphis   I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind      She's a honky tonk woman   Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues   She's a honky tonk woman   Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues      I laid a divorce in New York City   An' had to pick myself out of a fight   Ladies, they all covered me with roses   She blew my nose an' then she blew my mind      Well, she's a honky tonk woman   Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues   She's a honky tonk woman   Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues      She's a honky tonk woman   Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues   She's a honky tonk woman   Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
