I met her just a barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to make me upstairs for a ride
She had to carry me right across her shoulder
Cause I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk girl
I met her either say in New York City I had to put het a one heck of a fight
The lady said she'd covered me with roses
She broke my nose and then she broke my mind
She's a honky tonk woman...
