Cocker Joe Honky Tonk Woman Lyrics

Honky Tonk Woman Lyrics

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)

 It's the honky tonk women,

 That 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 me in roses,

 She blew my nose and then she blew my mind. 

 

 (chorus)
