I met a gypsy barroom queen in Memphis

An' on the street the summer sun did shine

The sweetest rose that ever grow in Memphis

I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind

She's a honky tonk woman

Give me give me give me the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorce in New York City

An' had to pick myself out of a fight

Ladies they all covered me with roses

She blew my nose an' then she blew my mind

Well she's a honky tonk woman

Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk woman

Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues
