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...
