[Verse 1]
Well, 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 shoulders 'cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind

[Chorus]
Yeah, those honky tonk women
That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

[Verse 2]
There was a divorcee in New York City, I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady said she'd cover me in roses, yeah, she blew my nose and then she blew my mind

[Chorus]
Yeah, those honky tonk women
That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Hey

[Chorus]
Oh, those honky tonk women
That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Oh, it's honky tonk women
Yeah, that give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Yeah, those honky tonk women
Yeah, that give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
