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,
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.
Chorus
(2x)
It's the honky tonk woman,
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady there she covered me in roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
3x Chorus
Writer(s): Keith Richard, Mick Jagger
