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.
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.
