[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
I just went to go run out back to see what I got in my closet from 1969. See if I could still fit into it. Just about, zip it in the back. Here we go

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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
I just can't seem to drink it off my mind

[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk, honkey tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

[Verse 2]
I laid a divorcee somewhere in Dallas
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

[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Alright

[Keyboard Solo]

[Outro]
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Thank you! Thank you very much

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
