These are honky tonk women Tryin' to give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues
I met a gin-soaked bar-room 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
These are honky tonk women But now they give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcée in New York City Well, I had to put up (huh) some kind of fight Well, that lady, then she covered me with roses (Huh) Well, she blew my nose (whew) and then she blew my mind
But it's the honky tonk women Tryin' to give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues It's the honky tonk women Yeah, they give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women They give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues
Yeah, they give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues
They give me, give me, give me their honky tonk blues
