I met a ginsalt barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
Then she had to have me right across her shoulder
Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

Oh those honky tonk women
Give me give me give me the honky tonk blues

I later did the same in New York City
I had to pull out of some kind of a fight
The lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

Oh those honky tonk women...
[ guitar ]
Oh those honky tonk women...
Oh those honky tonk women...
