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
It's the ho----nky tonk women
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 then she covered in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
