I met a gin-soaked bar room 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 the Hooooonky tonk women that  gimmie gimmie gimmie 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 Hooooonky tonk women that  gimmie gimmie gimmie the honky tonk blues    Yeah alllll right  It's the Hooooonky tonk women that  gimmie gimmie gimmie the honky tonk blues    It's the Hooooonky tonk women that  gimmie gimmie gimmie the honky tonk blues
