I met a gypsy barroom queen in Memphis An' on the street the summer sun did shine The sweetest rose that ever grow in Memphis I just can't seem to drink her off-a my mind
She's a honky tonk woman, yeah Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues, yeah! She's a honky tonk woman woo-hoo Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorce in New York City An' had to pick myself out of a fight Ladies they all covered me with roses She blew my nose an'then she blew my mind
Well, she's a honky tonk woman yeah woo, Lord, hey hey Give me, give me, give me, the honky tonk blues She's a honky tonk woman woo-ooo-hoo Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman woo-ah Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman wooooo Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
