She's a honky tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She tried to heave me right across her shoulder
And I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

She's a honky tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorcee here 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

She's a honky tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
